I'm still enjoying the roe deer in the wildflower field almost every night. Got literally 1000s of pictures of them, beautifully posing between the flowers. But every once in a while, the bucks get really excited because the rutting season is right around the corner. And it does become more interesting when it's not only a beautiful pose, but something is really happening.
This one got a glimpse of a rival in the adjoining field and decided to go for it. A racing roe deer buck with dozens of flowers surrounding it, makes for the ultimate challenge for the autofocus. And I've got só many shots to prove it..
I couldn't have been more thrilled when he took a gigantic jump right over the flowers to get to his opponent quickly, just airborne long enough for the autofocus to pick up.
Happy!!
