Two deer in front of Half Dome in Yosemite Valley during sunset.

I spent the evening in Yosemite Valley watching the sun go down on Half Dome when a couple of deer walked toward me. I took the opportunity to take this picture of them before moving out of their way so they could walk away undisturbed. It was a very beautiful experience and one of the best sunsets I've ever witnessed.

In New Braunfels, Texas, the deer often flood the golf course and surrounding residential yards around sunset. The locals feed them, and they love the grass on the golf course. This buck was kind enough to pose for me long enough to take several shots. He looked so regal that I couldn’t resist him, and I loved the symmetry of his antlers.
