Passing the Buck

This was another one of those fall moments that made me smile.  On another section of the mountain in Colorado Springs, we came across a group of bucks hanging out. 

Deer Season

The best part about hikes come from the unexpected things you come across during the walk.  While in Colorado Springs, I think I saw every kind of deer you can possibly imagine.  In fact, during this trip, everywhere we turned, there were deer....here are several amazing shots thanks to the new camera that allowed me to capture these wonderful moments.

 It started with one....and then.....many!!!  Camera in hand on rapid shot fire......

 ...they followed an imaginary trail on the prairie grass......

 .....sometimes walking.....sometimes running......and sometimes jumping.......

 .......and they made their way through the cool weather passing us by looking every once in awhile....

 .....in our direction.....

....until eventually they disappeared into the woods.  It was a great way to end the evening:)

Of course the best time to spot deer is early morning and before sunset.
