Herd of Red Deer at sunset, Sainte-Croix, France.
The Red Deer - Cervus elaphus - is one of the largest deer species.
Only the stags (males) have antlers, which start growing in the spring and are shed each year, usually at the end of winter.
(Odocoileus virginianus clavium) The Key deer is an endangered deer that lives only in the Florida Keys. It is a subspecies of the white-tailed deer and is the smallest North American deer. Key deer once ranged throughout the lower Florida Keys, but now lives primarily in one area, called Big Pine Key, and surrounding small islands. Taken on No Name Key just off Big Pine Key
Fungi of beechwood: The Deer Shield (Pluteus cervinus), I believe, was growing on a decayed beech log entirely covered with moss. The colour of the cap of this common mushroom is typically much lighter resembling the colour of the young deer (hence epithet ‘cervinus’ from the Latin word ‘cervus’ – ‘a deer’; though some say that you need to look at the gills under microscope to see stag-like edges). The cap of this young and probably recently emerged specimen is dark brown, almost black enhanced by wet weather. Pluteus in Latin means ‘screen’ or ‘protective fence’, hence a common name for this genus Shield mushrooms. Lansdown, Bath, BANES, England, U.K.
I try to give ID where possible but often it is not an easy task in the world of fungi without special examination, and I am not a mycologist. So, if you feel that I’m wrong, please do correct.
spotted this mother and baby whilst it was taking a chance to feed. Some really good light helps warm the shot
These beautiful creatures live in our woods and often greet us (kind of) as we come and go down the lane.

Out walking with my 'butterfly' 18-200mm lens,following a close encounter with the female Roe Deer, this little fawn then came into sight, taking a brief glance at me before following its mother.
