Do You see What We See?

Posted by Lee (Fort Frances Ontario, Canada) on 27 March 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

I watched these two bucks spar for a while a couple falls ago. It was quite interesting. They just suddenly stopped pushing and jostling. They both looked in the same direction. Dominace was entering the arena. A massive buck was on the edge of the clearing. It just amazed me, how did they know he was there? His size commanded respect, they did not continue sparring. Suddenly they were buds again. They just slowly sauntered their seperate ways. As for the big buck, well that's another picture.
The early morning light in this shot is so golden. It just accentuates the animals coats. They almost blend in with their surroundings.

Thank you for visiting my site. I consider myself to be lucky living where I do. Everyday I wake up to a wealth of interesting visual scenarios. Most of my pictures are Wildlife and Nature taken from around the area. The area specifically being Fort Frances Ontario on beautiful Rainy Lake. Feel free to comment on what you see. I look forward to hearing from you. If you like what you see, please rate it. Better yet, bookmark the site and drop back often. I will be posting daily.

It almost looks like they're posing for the wrong camera. Great shot.

@ZoomLNZ: When that large buck was in sight, they just froze and looked. But, you're right. It is almost like some else said look this way.
