I have been trying to get a descent photograph of this monster Mule Deer Buck for about a week and this morning I succeeded by getting some 20 shots. After watching him and several other bucks that were dwarfed standing nearby I continued on down the road turning off on Brent Creek Road. Turning a bend in the one lane dirt road I jumped a large Black Bear but he[she]was off faster than I could even think to grab my camera. I watched him for several seconds going seemingly straight up through the timber and dissapearing. Boy was he fast. What a great morning. All this and home for breakfast by 7:30 A M
Gary, fantastic photo. Are you going to paint him?
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot! Looks as if he posed for you.
ReplyDeleteYeh. In some way or the other I gotta paint him.
ReplyDeleteHe seemed very unconcerned and I had a hard time getting photos of him as he was so intent on browsing and would not lift his head in that tall grass. All week whenever I tried getting pictures he was off for the trees at the far end of this meadow. Guess he got used to me being around and figured I meant him no harm.
Great blog and fantastic paintings. Loved visiting and spending time looking at your work and reading your posts. i'll be back
ReplyDeleteHe's swimming in the greenery :)
