Happy Friday all.

I've posted this before but I believe it's worth passing along again. I blows my tiny mind...

If you've never viewed it, the video is about 8 minutes long and well worth your time.

Enjoy the day all.

Anna’s Hummingbird hanging out on the feeder chain. Such fun little birds to photograph and watch. They are very territorial to say the least.

Thanks for looking and enjoy the day all.

Pretty Mule Deer Doe

This was taken in the late evening as the sun was setting, she was fixated on what I was doing at the time. Hope you enjoyed the image and thanks for taking the time to look. Have a fun day.

Another example of Photoshop making things easier, using Generative Fill I was able to remove the doe that was right in front of the buck. The tool did an outstanding job with the removal and it kept the natural curve of the neck, which blew me away. Thanks Adobe

2 Threaded Spouts

This was taken in 2019, I saved the image as I had hoped one day I could easily edit the shot and remove the distracting elements. Thanks to Photoshop and the Generative Fill tool, I was able to rework this image to what you see below. Thank you #Adobe Love Generative Fill!

He wasn't all that concerned about me as he was on a scent trail. Pretty little buck.

Couse Deer Buck on a sent trail.

Out of all the places to stop and sniff, he stopped in the shade. I tried to bring him out of the shadows.

I tend to make an effort to go out and explore the area to look for wildlife in the late evening. This is typically when the best light happens. I ran across five bucks on Tuesday, they all stood in the shade and wouldn't go out in the light lol...just my luck! :) Here's one in the shade to share.

This is an "if only" shot... "If only" the mesquite wasn't in front of the third buck LOL

It crops down to the two nicely...but...I really wish I could have had all three lined up. There were seven bucks hanging out together... interesting to see. Enjoy the day all.

Born 8-11-2023

My wife went out to refill the hummingbird feeders yesterday when she noticed a doe giving birth to her fawn. We had a storm roll through today and I had just mentioned I had hoped the doe and fawn were out of the rain. Two seconds later, she spotted them. So wet but cute!

Cute little buck with velvet on his horns. They are very small deer, about the size of a Great Dane, maybe smaller.

Enjoy the day all.
