Sunrise over the Rockies.

I'm not very comfortable with landscapes, so comments are welcome.

On Approach - I happened by when they were doing quick circuits to train the ground crew. I picked this spot as being the best place to stand at in terms of composition. They are coming in to land at this point. This is actually a reasonably risky sport, there aren't many flat places to land at (they have to be clear of trees).

A/V girl in the park. Some young women were setting this up for a mid-frame and let me take a picture with my P&S. The girl in the makeup gave me a shock when she moved!

D'Oh a Deer! I came around a corner and suddenly a deer. Seems early in the year to me. I was worried about being stampeded because there was what looked like a tall hedge behind it (animals are *most* dangerous when cornered). When it got tired of me it turned around and high-jumped about 10 feet over the hedge.

I wanted to upload this for 'Nachbarnebenan' to show how important eyes are. This was in the wild, but kudos to all who tag their photos as 'zoo' as it's a bit of a cheat to not do so.

There were some first-year deer wandering around last summer. This young stag is keeping a rear-guard eye on me as the others parade off.

Resized for the web but otherwise uncropped and unprocessed. If I did, I would rotate it a little and crop slightly to make the head more prominent.
