I was tempted to shoo these deer out of the scene but it seemed uncivil. (smile)

Glad you didn't chase them Pat, they just bring more to an already beautiful scene. Very peaceful and beautifully presented.

Beautiful image of a glorious morning, Pat. Amazing sky to go with the flower field. I think the deer add a lot to the scene even at their small size, though I could see cloning out the one deer showing his less flattering side.

A very peaceful scene Pat with a very nice sky. The deer add nicely to the scene. Nice job.

I saw those bee plants--but no deer! Good catch!

I really like the wide open feel and the depth of this image. Great colors and the feer add a nice touch.

Pat, What a beautiful scene. I'm enjoying the wide open feel you have here very much. Wonderful colors, great sky and the deer added a nice touch to the scene.

Ditto what everyone already said about the wide open spaces and the dear, Pat. This is excellent.

Cool sweeping view Pat especially the large version. The deer add a nice touch!

I like this composition: first I looked at the larger, my eyes were so attracted by the lines of the mountain and the clouds that I didn't notice the deer at all, it's by reading that I checked again to see them. I like this peaceful picture. Bravo!

Great picture, Pat. What a contrast between dunes, stream and lush valley. A lot of nice elements. Well seen and presented. Chet

This worked out really well, Pat. There's a nice variety of shapes, color, and tones. Very pleasing and pretty scene.

This looks like it would have been a wonderful time out there, Pat. An excellent scene, and yes, including the deer too....!!

Thanks for the comments you all. I appreciate them. Being there was a lot of fun for this one. Wish I could get the smells in too.
