Deer, Birds, and a Squirrel.

Looks like my trail cam took a better deer picture than I would have!

I haven't actually seen deer in that part of our yard so the pictures were a surprise. Earlier this summer Frank saw a bear lumber through there, which is why I moved the camera to that position. Mr. Bear has not come back yet. He has been spotted by neighbors who live near the river numerous times.

Here's a night picture of the deer, also taken automatically by the trail camera. I cropped it and brightened it slightly.


Here's a picture that I took of a bird on a wire. It looks a little dull to me so I cropped it and added a bokeh effect using Movavi software (see next picture). What do you think?

Below that we have some geese flying on a cloudy day.


I was surprised to come upon this street in Loudoun County. 


Speaking of squirrels, I haven't photographed any lately. I don't have the bird feeders out because they attract bears, so the squirrels haven't been hanging out close to the house. This picture is left over from winter.
