      My, biscuit - what big ears they have!
      They also look a lot darker than mule deer I have seen in Texas. Are they really that dark a gray, or is it the photograph?
      Whichever - they are certainly lovely creatures.

        Scotia, I took this shot in a cemetery between Ouray and Ridgway, Colorado. I’d spotted an interesting monument from the road, and as we were driving slowly through the cemetery, we came around a corner and saw them. :)

        Drchelo, I darkened the photo a little — it was foggy that morning and the colors were very unsaturated. It looked washed out to my eye.

            Oops - sorry, Kate - I thought it was our biscuit, introducing us to more beautifully strange creatures.
            Must be my drug-fogged brain.
            Better be careful what I read before I post.

              This is a wonderful moment for you, Kate, we had a similar moment with a mule that was laughing in a pasture. What a scene to come upon.
              Today is my sweetie and my 5th anniversary! We met in college many years ago and met again 10 years ago when both of us were single. Finally clicked 7 years ago. Married 5 years ago. I am married to my best friend!!!! :-)

                Hi everybody.
                I hope I still have friends. Jean joined a group of us with a wingnut friend from Chicago today at the beach. Her husband is a financial advisor and someone at the table brought up the stock market. This lady said that everything would be fine if McCrappy pants is elected. I went off on her and cleared the table. I may have lost my best friend over this, but dammit I just lost control.

                  You did not lose a friend. You eliminated an enemy. Folks like that are not often friends.

                  Warmest regards,

                  Doc
