your deer are a lot fuzzier than ours are. it's always interesting to me to see the difference in animals with the same names in different areas.
These were the youngsters. I'll have the stag of the group another day. Typically there were not in an ideal place to shoot. I do wonder about those who were using an iPhone to capture them. I went right up to the fence had a 70-200mm with a 2xTC and cropped about 50%.

Like the folks who use a flash on a point and shoot when they are 100 metres from their subject.

Fujifilm XH-1 50-140mm w/2X teleconverter. 6:30 p.m. with light failing. I was taking picture of a deer, and this beautiful dog interrupted that endeavor by coming up to me while I was fixated on the deer in the EVF.

He/she wanted to play ball with me. His owner called him back, and I couldn't back up fast enough (50mm zoom on 2X for 100mm) to get a shot of this wonderful dog! Handheld at 1/125 f/9, ISO 12800. I'm glad the XH-1 has stabilization!

the last of the butterflies. we do have two more caterpillars, but right now it is a battle of aphids and caterpillars to see which finishes off the milkweed plant. and it is getting colder at night, so i am not even sure if the caterpillars will survive. over the course of late summer we released nearly 40 butterflies, and while we did lose some in various stages, our overall survival rate was quite good. it was a marvelous experience, and while we will tend for our two stragglers, i am ready to fully welcome fall now.

safe travels to mexico.

With the traditional walking of the cows from the lower elevation where hay fed over the winter to the upper elevation where the new growth supports grazing, the lead cow has the largest bell. Each cow has its own bell of different sizes and the sound is amazing as it echoes through the countryside. Done for centuries without horses and before motor vehicles existed, the tradition continues to this day. The process is reversed in 6 months with the return to the lower elevation.

How much does a bell like that weigh? It does not look comfortable
