Resting Mule Deer...

I was going to skip today but changed my mind at the last minute. After uploading the photo and looking at it maybe I should have stayed with my first thought. This was one of the few wildlife we seen on our recent vacation. This mule deer buck was photographed as he relaxed in the mid afternoon heat at Bryce National Park. I really need to get out and photograph some whitetails and Elk, if for no other reason just to make me feel better and relax.

I love this whole scene! Sometimes its the scene that is more important than the subject as with this case here. It's beautiful!

I'm glad you posted this entry today. I definitely agree that photographing whitetail deer and elk is relaxing. I can't wait for the end of September! Today I spent an hour in a blind in my backyard. I saw a pair of doves, a chipmunk, a few chickadees, and a blue jay. I haven't looked at the photos yet, but I'll be surprised if I have a great photo in the batch. But I am learning and it is always good to be in a blind!
