They were up in a thicket, so couldn't get any great pictures, but of note the two bucks I saw earlier in this area still have their antlers. But the one photo I did get, shows what looks like a buck having just shed its antlers.
Today I did a little walk around a bit of forest at Lake Fairfax Park with my son. We were looking for deer, and were out about two hours. After a lot of time not finding any deer, I was noting that we were not seeing any deer when my son called me back up the trail a bit. He saw what I had missed.... deer. He gets big points for this bit! They were up in a thicket, so couldn't get any great pictures, but of note the two bucks I saw earlier in this area still have their antlers. But the one photo I did get, shows what looks like a buck having just shed its antlers. The only other picture I took was this one, which is just fluff. But I want to put up a few more shots from Accotink Creek in Wakefield. So here they are.

Rocky Run is a out west of Fairfax, Virginia. Just a park I got to today for a short walk. Temps were around freezing, so much warmer than yesterday. Pics are just so-so, but the kingfisher is new to the site and yes, in need of a better shot. The first two pics from yesterday were done with HDR processing. I find them to be too gray and blue. I can keep editing such photos, but only have so much time. So here are two more pics of Scott's Run without HDR processing, or any processing other than a light bit of sharpening. And a photo of Scott's Run Falls, all iced over.
Back on 8/25/2013 I put up a blog post about this park. It can be found here: http://www.tropicalbats.com/1/archives/08-2013/1.html Today I got back there, in rather different weather conditions. We have had a bit of snow and some really cold temps. A good reason to get out of the house! After living in Norway for three years, we have all the right clothing to be outside in low temps for long periods of time. My only concern was my camera gear, but if you want to get the pictures, you have to take the camera. This post is a bit heavier data-wise than most, so sorry about that if you have a slow connection. I might have more pics from here, but this is certainly enough for one day.
After a "photo is nice, but..." comment on yesterday's pic, I am putting up a bonus blog post with more ice pictures. I was not able to get out for a proper photo shoot, but I managed a couple pictures on my way to the store. Today was a 17km bike trip in the hills north of Oslo for a bunch of students from the Oslo International School. They started and finished at Sognsvann. |
