Pretty Boy

I was on my way home from work this morning....the first snowfall was in progress. 
Standing in a field adjacent to the road was a gorgeous buck.




Zooming out, you can see that he was courting a doe, and had some possible competition....a little spike buck!

Great Blue Heron with More Than He Could Handle!

I was watching this Great Blue Heron fish today and was surprised to see him dive, then run up to the top of the ridge. Later, while checking my pics, I saw that he actually grabbed a rock and a fish. He apparently realized that if he dropped the rock, he's lose the fish too, so he went to higher ground to keep his catch. Clever boy!!!

Webs....

It's that spidery time of year....and the meadow was draped in lacy, dewy webs this morning. 
I picked up a new Fuji camera body....the X-T3. Improvements include faster tracking subject lock-on. This shot was taken with the new camera....I'm impressed with the colors and light handling, but will have to wait to check out the tracking.
