Deer at Pitt River

It was a wonderful weekend for photography while out walking with the dog.  I’ve got lots of photos to go through and edit 🙂

I spotted a deer along the river! It wasn't long before I realized there were two, resting in the grasses along the river. 1/500sec, f7.1, ISO5600

I’ve only seen deer along the Pitt River a few times, and each time it has been on the far side of the dike, away from the river.  Yesterday, I caught a pair of deer relaxing in the long grasses in the flats along the river.  Once they caught sight of me, they didn’t stick around long, but it was lovely to have the chance to watch them for a few minutes.

Deer

I saw this beauty driving home this morning.   I was amazed when it calmly stood by, my car parked no more than 6 feet away, while I snapped a few quick pictures with my phone.
