While waking through a local Calgary city park with some friends, we came across this White-Tailed Deer enjoying his breakfast of wild grass.
Bucks begin to grow a new set of antlers as soon as the old set drops, which takes place any time from late January to March. At their peak growth rate in midsummer, antlers can grow up to half an inch a day. By September, the velvet covering has sloughed off to reveal the hardened rack underneath.
In this photo of the male deer taken towards the end of July he still has is velvet covering on his antlers

It's hard to believe this place is real, let alone a fresh dusting of snow and the fog creeping down into the valley. I felt special capturing this moment by myself, with the odd person walking by on a crisp morning in fall.
It is still hard to imagine i was standing here looking out in front of me.
I'm glad i got this on film.
