Deer on the Hill

The deer detect you from a long way off. I guess they're used to being hunted and so are very wary. I liked how these were silhouetted by the wisps of low cloud and snow. Taken on Wednesday's walk.

Our girl's birthday today. 27. Can't wait to see her at Christmas. We haven't seen her for a whole year!
You would be well wrapped up for this walk! A wild territory!

Impressive shot Issi......incredible to see those deer against the snow covered mountains. The darker foreground just highlights the whole scene.
Happy birthday to your daughter...hard times for families but not long til Christmas.

Happy birthday to your beautiful girl! Love this image and the skylining of the deer. Proper "39 Steps" country where you really can't hide. Glorious Wintry weather.

Wow! Is this a 3 line deer whip/trip? Splendid in mono.

Delighted that you'll have your daughter at Christmas. Sadly our ‘Youth Team' in the U.K. won't be here. However we What's App regularly. Last night was quiz night; each of us had compiled 10 questions. Fun stuff and some howlers of course!

It looks rather bleak out there. No wonder the deer are wary of you if they are likely to be hunted.

Wow what a backdrop for your deer photo!

Absolutely stunning! I'm glad you'll see your daughter at Christmas too. We will be with our younger son and his family and I can't wait to see them! fav

Great in b&w. Fabulous capture.

I think animals know when their season is in. The deer around here seem to be more evident in places they can't be shot, such as residential areas.

Pretty scene with the added bonus of the deer!

Beautiful place! I'd love to visit. Happy birthday to your daughter!

This is wonderful! I love seeing them on the horizon in this beautiful setting. B&W works really well.

@s4sayer It's really difficult this year. We'll have both our kids over. Our son, from London, is self isolating for a while before he sees my dad, and our daughter is pretty much doing the same before she travels and will have to self isolate in Norway for 10 days on her return. Then there's the decision about Christmas day with my dad. We can't leave him on his own, but know there's a slight risk in him coming down to us, because of the kids being here. It's an impossible situation. We'll just have a handle it with as much common sense as possible. Thank goodness for technology which makes most things more bearable!

Am reminded of an old maxim...'when the going gets tough, the tough get going'. We’ve come this far...and our eyes are in the front of our head...and we must keep on going...anything else is denying life ;-)

@s4sayer Perfect!

Wonderful contrasts of shades - and so lovely to see the deer, silhouetted beneath the wispy clouds.

Nice winter landscape... a good place to forget the troubles of the world!
