I loved doing the bus tour on this trip, since we were able to see so much of the city. The only downside is that most of the pics are just of buildings. But at least they're cool buildings with cool perspectives.

After rubbing scent on the oak branch this whitetail buck scraped the ground underneath. He will check it frequently to see if another buck is marking over him.
The deep glow of twilight illuminates fog, surrounding a Whitetail buck who reaches for a licking branch while making a scrape.
One of those amazing moments when weather, light, and behavior all come together.

Love this shot , so pleased with it, just clicked at the right time. Love the gull at the bottom, it’s legs are wide apart
But, there is no other buck around this scrape. I made it with doe estrus and buck urine. There are some other bucks in this area, so I'm hoping this will turn into a real scrape. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Some trouble from my camera wherein it died and came back to life with brainmeat problems for a while. This does not aid me in displaying the amazing humans i get to play with.
This whitetail buck is rubbing his preorbital glands on leaves above a scrape. Scrapes are always made under an overhead branch so this can take place. There is some controversary about this activity as to whether scent is being applied or it is merely pleasurable to rub while working a scrape. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

Today's prompt was Scrape. A paint scraper. I honestly couldn't decide what to draw for the prompt. A scraped knee, nails scraping on a blackboard or someone scraping the bottom of a barrel. In the end, I was fairly pleased with the sketch, but the prompt left very little room for manoeuver.
Young Black Bear cub showing some signs of scuffle. Hopefully they're just from some rough play with his brother and not from an adult male.
Thank you everyone for visiting, commenting and fav'ing - very much appreciated!
I took this shot from the top of the Empire State Building in Manhattan, looking North-East. I like the uniform look and the straight lines.

Columbia tower on a moody day. Cloud cover was perfect for what I had in mind, execution is a little on the iffy side. I'm not in love with the composition but it gives me a good idea what I would like to try in the future.
A young buck comes into a scrape in early morning light. Only to be run off by a much bigger 8-pt. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
This buck is sniffing the leaves and rubbing scent on the leaves above a scrape. Four scrapes in this area. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
The Hague's tallest buildings seem to scrape the dark clouds, while the sun also played a large role in illuminating the foreground.
This buck has made a scrape here in just the past couple of days. He is urinating down his hind legs across the tarsus glands to put a pungent scent down. Difficult to see, but there is another buck behind him.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Saw my first scrape activity early this morning. Haven't see this 8-point buck before. Here he is rubbing scent on branches above the scrape. Then he scraped the are with his front feet and urinated down his legs to place his mark. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
We saw our first sign of rutting activity this morning. This 8-point buck is making a scrape long before the first rays of sunlight penetrate the Cross Timber oaks. Later, a larger buck would come along and leave his mark. A couple of spikes, a forkhorn, and a six-point wtched, but didn't try to participate. The fall spectacle of the whitetail rut has begun.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.
i felt like such a tourist taking pictures of the empire state building...*sigh*
but i liked the fog too much to pass up.
EDIT: i AM a new yorker.
Moose of Grand Teton
Moose are the largest member of the deer family and love cold weather. They frequent marshy meadows and edges of lakes and streams. About 800 Moose inhabit the southern part of Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park and surrounding national forests. Moose are most heavily concentrated in Grand Teton Park.
To keep from sinking in mud while feeding, as the animal lowers its foot, a large dewclaw spreads to better support the weight. Similarly, the odd-looking crook of the hind leg allows a Moose to pull the leg straight up, more easily releasing it from deep, sucking mud.
Bull Moose lose their antlers anytime between December and March. Most of the Moose drop them in January. Immature bulls may not shed their antlers for the winter but retain them until the following spring. Female Moose do not have antlers.
A new set of antlers begin to grow the following spring, nourished by the covering of furry skin known as velvet. They take three to five months to develop fully – the velvet is then scraped and rubbed off against bushes and branches. The antlers are then ready for battle. Generally, each set of antlers will be larger than the one before.
Birds, carnivores, and rodents eat dropped antlers as they are full of protein and Moose themselves will eat antler velvet for the nutrients.
Take note—cow Moose with young can be particularly dangerous.
