A beautiful Manitoba buck in velvet from a few years back.

Early morning sunlight hitting this beautiful buck in velvet. It won't be long until he sheds the fuzzy rack to reveal the bare bone antlers. Eventually, the antlers will fall off, and they will grow back, usually stronger and bigger than the year before. Truly a wonder of nature.

The sunflowers were looking a bit tired this evening, but one managed to pose for me 🙂

I finally got the shot I’ve been chasing for a few years now. With my work schedule and temperatures on the rise, today was likely my last opportunity, so I’m feeling great about that.

In addition to years of trial and error, getting this shot involved standing ankle-deep in cold marsh water during the critical dawn window. I stood at a calculated angle, hoping the Red-winged Blackbirds would get accustomed to my presence and land within the frame I had set up. I'm glad to finally check this one off the list and move on to some new subjects and challenges.
