Random stuff this weekend

A couple of days ago I was walking through the house in the morning, glanced out from the window and found a whole family of deer in the front yard. A doe, 2 fawns, and a buck.

One of the two fawns.

Not a huge rack, but it's rare we see any deer with antlers in our yard.

We had some wicked storms roll through last night, so course I set up my camera on a tripod in the yard, held an umbrella over it to try to keep it a little dry, and tried to get some lightning shots.

One of my favorite photos this summer.
