Deer in Mustard Field
This is the field next to Abbott's Lagoon at Pt. Reyes as seen last weekend. You can pretty much count on seeing deer in this field, and I think the mustard has yet to peak.

John,

I like this. The layers of color and texture work very well. I would like to see the deer just a bit larger in the frame. The flowers are really nice. I recognize the yellow mustard, but what are the white flowers?

This is really nice John. The positioning of the deer and the layering of the land really makes for an arresting image. Wonderful work!

The white flowers are wild radish. Same family as the mustard. The radish group can have red, white or blue flowers too. They're aliens, but very patriotic. :smile:
