Peek a boo!

I went snowshoeing at the state park today, and this is all I got for my efforts. There certainly is no shortage of deer in and around the park. It's tough to get something besides a boring doe just standing and looking at me. Actually, she was found before I even got to the park.

I was in the park for about an hour, and the only bird I saw was a skittish Kingfisher. It's been 3 weeks since I got a good shot of a bird. If this continues much longer, I'm going to go crazy.

I like it as well X. All good things happen to those with patience, you will get bird shots soon.

Glad to hear that the snow shoes are working out at least.

I like it! And she thinks that you can't see her!

Thanks, guys. Every time I go back and look at it, I like it just a little bit more. In this case, I think the tree is half the photo. But why, couldn't it have been a 12 point buck?

Cause then we would have assumed you shot it at the deer farm and wouldn't have been nearly as impressed.

Very Nice X! Look, you got a good shot and some exercise and who knows, maybe next time it will be the 12 point buck.

You are thinking through the scope of your gun, X-T, instead of the viewfinder of your camera. This is my favorite of all your deer shots. Even over the doe in the dame's rocket. A 12 point buck may draw a hunter and a few others to your photo, but this little girl has the capability of drawing anyone to her. The tree is a big part of the photo, so is the blue shadow on the snow. But her expression is timeless--it starts a real communication between your photo and the viewer of the photo.

I would be willing to exchange a few birds for deer. I haven't seen one since before deer season. Nice picture.
