Nature Took a Pose

Today was an incredible day for photo opps; everywhere we went, animals seemed to just be lining up for their own private photo sessions. Not a lot was going on at the second structure I surveyed this morning (winds were pretty strong, cutting out bird activity and limiting the songs I could hear), but out of nowhere a hummingbird came and landed on my arm! It tried to suck nectar out of my arm, wouldntcha know! Unfortunately, I didn't get a photo of that, but I think some moments are not photo opps, but rather precious snapshots in time to be enjoyed and remembered.Hope you all enjoy the pics below...

Here's a grouse (blue or ruffed??) that was scooting across the road in front of our truck this morning. It landed on this stump, perfectly posing for an early morning picture!


Two black-tailed deer bucks with their velvety antlers actually stood and posed while Dan and I snapped away!


And there was the female, hanging back behind the truck; she was a little shy.
