I dont have a clue what made this circular print in the snow. There are deer tracks going to and from it and my foot prints close to it. It wasnt there when I went inside that evening. When I got up the next morning I asked my husband if he sat something down in the snow. He said he didnt. I doubt that a deer sat its hind end on the ground....but I dont know! Anyone have any ideas??
...these deer tracks lead up to our front yard and back down into our woods. Of course, I keep them busy by feeding them. By the end of this weekend the snow will be gone as warmer temps arrive. I used my Kiron MC 28-210mm f/3.8 -5.6 with a Fotodiox PK-EOS lens adapter.
Deer pass through my woods daily and in the evening they often bed down near the edge where it’s a bit brushier.
Northern Michigan.

This cake was for cousins who's birthdays fall a week apart. They are both deer hunters so I tried to make the cake reflect that. Bottom tier is yellow cake with vanilla buttercream. Top tree stump is chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream. The deer antlers (while not shaped quite right) are made from formed swire, covered in gumpaste and then painted with royal icing. I then painted them with a mix of brown coloring and vodka. I liked think making them this way was the best way to go about doing it, but next time I'll have to make sure my points are pointing in the right directions.
Deertrack. 1937.
Abby Beecher Roberts was the mother-in-law of Frank Lloyd Wright's student, John Lautner, and supervising this building was one of the first jobs Lautner did for Wright. You can read more about it in a great interview with Lautner, available at www.archive.org/details/responsibilityin00laut
More and better photos, including some of the inside on the Wright chat forum
The Abby Beecher Roberts house (1937) in Deertrack. Wright did not approve of many of the changes the owners made to his design.

I've been playing lonely guy for the last two weeks and I don't like it one bit. I've come to the conclusion that I am only part human. My orangutan-like arms attest to this conclusion. If the rest of me were more like my cousins, I'd probably get along fine, as they are rather solitary beasts. I, however, am much less happy to be alone. The main problem is that I get bored with nobody to talk to. Well, I'll get relief in a week. I'll be off to St. Louis to be with Grace and her daughter and family. Grace is a new grandmother again. I'm gonna take about a million pictures and shoot hours of video.
Which brings me to today's subject. Golf. No, of course not. I am not a golfer. That's too bad, actually, since I could stand outside our front door and throw a golf ball onto one of the prettiest golf courses I've ever seen, not that I've seen very many. Anyway, I'm going to start on the night before and walk you through a photographic expedition from our house to the golf course. You don't need a back pack. It takes only about one minute, unless you have a camera. Then it takes about a half-hour.
Last night I set up the new Canon 5D Mk II with the EF 40-70mm Æ’4 L USM lens on a tripod outside the front door and shot directly across the street. This was a thirty second exposure with an ISO of 3200, I think. At that ISO reproducing at normal sizes shows no detectable noise. When the width of an image is over 5,600 pixels, noise gets pretty much buried in the mass of dots of color. I spend far less time cleaning up images.
I got lucky in this shot when a car passed by the house. Notice that the shutter was open was long enough to produce perfect little star trails. You'll have to click to enlarge to see them.
I woke up at 05:30 the next morning and went to the front door to see how smoky it was outside. We have had many fires lately. Much of it is "managed burns", but it's just as smoky, no matter the cause of the fire. Here is a site showing current wildfires over one-hundred acres. This morning was about as clear as I have seen and the sun was at a perfect angle to sculpture the famous red rocks. After I crossed the dry wash and made my way to the top of the bank I set up the tripod and grabbed this shot:
This is a different kind of spectacular from the scenes out my front door in Madang, but I can get used to it.
I then made my way back down into the dry wash for a little stroll to the golf course, only about a hundred feet along the path. Along the way I spotted deer tracks:
Unmistakeable, eh?
After checking the area for other tracks and a visit to the World Wide Web for confirmation, I'm convinced that there was a rather large elk wandering around the neighborhood while I was out spying on the house across the street last night. It seems that elk tend to put the hind foot nearly in the same spot as the front foot hit the ground as they walk. This accounts for the distorted shape. The front of the indentation shows the characteristic cloven hoof pattern of an ungulate.
Well, that's got precious little to do with golf, but I'm getting to that.
At the top of the bank a few feet further on is the perimeter road of the golf course. There are many presumably rich people housed around the course. Once again I find myself a man of very modest means living like a prince. The road is a popular place for a morning constitutional:
Up at the end of the course I got this tripod shot of the scene. I could have done quite nicely without the tripod, but though the gear is capable, my arm is not. That rig is heavy, man. My biceps will soon be bulging again:
In the past I have shot stitched-together panoramas to get landscapes such as this, but with over twenty-one million pixels, all I have to do is crop out the middle. Unless this was blown up bigger than an 8x10 inch sheet, you would never see any pixelation.
Really, there's not much that this camera can't do, given the right lens. I wonder what some of the great photographic geniuses of the past would make of the equipment and software we have today. It would be something to see, I'm sure.
The morning light was very soft and warm. The sky was nearly white. I used a circular polarizer filter to darken it as much as possible, but I still had to fake a blue sky in this shot:
I'm afraid it shows, eh? Well, it's just an interpretation, so I don't care. It would make a nice post card.
If you like golf.
I intended to hike out onto the lake to get a photo of some ice fishing, but the temp was about 14 degrees F (-10 C) and I changed my mind. So, here are some deer tracks on the lagoon ice.
A view of Christ Church, Upper Canada Village, taken from the St. Lawrence River. I climbed up the frozen embankment for this view. I thought the church and this small bush made for an interesting paring.
(Sorry to post and run, will catch up a bit later).
The group of seven deer came back earlier this morning, you can see their tracks in front of the chairs. They looked around every bush that was above the snow cover but from the window it seems they did not taste them just yet. The "tastier" ones are covered with nets...
The boat ride on the East Rapti river in the Chitwan National Park in Nepal (see previous pictures earlier in this album) was followed by a jungle walk through slushy jungle paths. Getting off the low slung canoe was an odyssey in itself- one had to get up from almost floor level on a dangerously rocking and unstable boat, stabilize oneself and then step onto a sloping river bank made slippery by slush and wet grass, thanks to last night's heavy downpour. Luckily for me, the Chinese tour group had reached here first and the bold tour guide (the lady with the white t-shirt- see previous pictures earlier in this album) helped me up the slope. My guide started walking right away, giving me no time at all to find my bearings after that adventure! Still, it was a relief to get off that unstable boat and stretch one's legs. We encountered several deer tracks on the wet mud as we walked along- you can see how slushy the ground was in this picture. These are the tracks of the Axis deer, a far view and notes of which appeared earlier in this album. (see previous pictures). (Sauraha, Chitwan, Nepal, Oct/ Nov. 2019)
I decided to walk out and find out what made the marks in the field. I thought deer had done it but I had to go out and make sure. Yup, deer digging for corn.
This shot was taken on my first trip to Marley beach for sunrise.
I left home at 2.30 am for a 4.5km hike in the night, all good fun.
Spent the first hour on the beach trying to do star trails with out any luck.
As sun came I made a promise to my self that I would not to do seascapes
The sunrise was very bland.
I guess there is always next time.
Interesting how the hind foot steps almost exactly in the fore foot's track. A good habit, I'm sure. Berkeley. March, 2018.
We have notice all manner of animal tracks out back here, but with the very dry snow it's very hard to decipher them.
Now we know! Last night we were out in the fall and saw a huge doe come right up to the window with her nose up against the glass and look in on us for a good 60 seconds. I feel so badly for these creatures out there duing this brutal winter.
But at least I have a better idea of what deer tracks look lile.
Blue and gold, and crystal snow,
the winter's hue is cast. Saturated by squintingly bright light, the sun boldens the colors, until the clouds turn them bland again.
At night a deer cuts through the drifts,
to make a lonely path. The footprints are visible thanks to the sun, the same sun that will make them disappear.
I went walking in the snow today.
The deer were walking ahead of me. I saw at least 13 deer in various packs as I trod on the mostly untouched trails in Carpenter Park just outside of Springfield, Illinois. The park runs along the Sangamon River, where Abraham Lincoln piloted goods across central Illinois to New Salem.
I wasn't trying to get pictures of the deer, although I did get a couple. What fascinated me was the snow, the tracks, and the shadows. I got plenty of those, as represented by this image, from early in the walk.
I took longer than I was planning on, as I got to a point in the park where the trail ended. The river was at the end of that trail, with no other way out except back the same way I had come. I saw a couple of fresh adult human tracks leading off in the direction I wanted to go. I followed them. What followed was an adventure. I got a bit colder than usual, and enjoyed the experience of sliding down a hill on my behind, and crabbing up the next hill on all fours. I made it back to my car. The heater was blowing hot for a while, until I warmed up.
The forest isn't for the weak, but the fun and beauty is in there. Just be careful and enjoy the show.
Carver County MN 2010
Taken at sunset facing due east. The lone tree is a nice contrast to the layered cloud formation in the horizon and fresh snow.
