Ooh It’s So Good!
As I walked up to a small pond I noticed this buck walking down the trail. He was clearly in distress and distracted by deer flies and didn’t see me. He walked out into the pond then walked along the entire length of the pond and passed within 15 feet of me and still didn’t notice I was taking his picture. He then went back out into the pond to enjoy a nice White Water Lilly pad.

Good catch Phil. It is always great to be in a place to watch the action, even better to catch it and be able to share it with others.

Nice shot, Phil. Definitely not a "typical" pose. Thanks for sharing

That's sweet, Phil...so nice of this guy to stay put while you snapped off a few shots. Love the pose!
