White-tailed buck in a winter wonderland

01 Dec 2012 273
After a three-hour walk (which includes lots of stops to look at birds!), I had just left the parking lot at Sikome, Fish Creek Park, when I spotted a Deer on the hillside across from Hull's Wood. Pulled over to take a few photos and then noticed that this handsome buck had emerged from some trees. All my birding friends had already left the area, so I suspect I was the only person to see him, which is too bad. Taken on 29 November 2012 at Hull's Wood, Fish Creek Park. Another grey day today with freezing fog, with all the trees covered in whte snow/frost. Beautiful to see, but wish the sun would come out. It's -11C (12F) with windchill of -18C (0F). Ha, I need to find time to look for a few brightly coloured photos from my archives, to post in between all these white shots! This is our world, though - WHITE! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-tailed_deer
