These invasive, exotic deer can be seen almost anywhere on a drive through the Texas Hill Country. We have plenty of them on our own property, but these were seen along one of the many little county roads near Camp Wood, Texas in June 2021. This area just about 10 miles north of us had more rain that we did judging by the tall green grass. These does posed nicely for this shot with both studying me.
To take photographs means to recognize -- simultaneously and within a fraction of a second -- both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis. -Henri Cartier-Bresson
The chital or cheetal , also known as the spotted deer is native to the Indian subcontinent. In the US, populations can be found in Hawaii and Texas were they were introduced as a game species.
Cat's first reaction to a Westcott Rapid Box. She loves her picture taken, but had never seen my Octabox before.

The chital (/tʃiːtəl/) or cheetal (Axis axis), also known as spotted deer or axis deer, is a species of deer that is native in the Indian subcontinent. The species was first described by German naturalist Johann Christian Polycarp Erxleben in 1777. A moderate-sized deer, male chital reach nearly 90 cm (35 in) and females 70 cm (28 in) at the shoulder. While males weigh 30–75 kg (66–165 lb), the lighter females weigh 25–45 kg (55–99 lb). The species is sexually dimorphic; males are larger than females, and antlers are present only on males. The upper parts are golden to rufous, completely covered in white spots. The abdomen, rump, throat, insides of legs, ears, and tail are all white. The antlers, three-pronged, are nearly 1 m (3.3 ft) long.

Axis deer, non-native species that has adapted to Texas living. Photographed along the rocky banks of the Nueces River in Montell, Uvalde County, Texas.
My husband and I took a little ride down some county roads near our place. We came across some axis bucks that seem to be of varying ages based on antler size. This is a sequence but of course they came up in reverse order on my feed. Anyway, we first saw two - a vary impressive older buck with large antlers. An interesting fact about these deer is that the mature bucks have a total of 6 points (except in rare cases) and as they get older the antlers just get longer. I have seen old bucks that can barely hold their heads up straight because the antlers have grown so huge. Anyway the two studied us and then finally chose to jump the fence. Then a third one came across the road and stopped to look around as if wondering where the others had gone.

Now you can take LEGO to a whole new level! Test out your flight simulator apps with a "realistic" control module. Feel the power as you swoop and soar!
Obviously, it needs some updates. The belt is probably the best gearing system for LEGO. There is almost no "wiggle room". The X axis rotation is pretty good, but gravity causes it to be a bit difficult to control if tilted too far forward or backward. I still need to develop a firing system (I spent an hour or so yesterday experementing with conductive materials that I could integrate). That will be the most challenging function. I think it will probably use ropes and gears to counteract the rotation of the ipod. If anyone has a simpler way to do it, I'd love to hear about it. NXT would make this legit, but I don't have it.
