Buck

White-tailed buck, Odocoileus virginianus,
with velvety antlers photographed through the bedroom
window at the photographer's farm in eastern Ontario.

their house!

Happy Holidays to everyone.

I am receiving so many gorgeous pictures from you, amigos bonitos, and I am overwhelmed by the beauty of these images and the creatures and places depicted. If you have a high-resolution digitized nature image (I prefer JPG format) that you'd like to share with your fellow readers, feel free to email it to me, along with information about the image and how you'd like it to be credited.
