I love them. Is it a scan from a slide (no metadata is available)?<<<<<<<, Hi Philippe, Yes the dew drops and grass are a scan from Kodachrome 64. I was looking through some old keeper images and came across it and thought you folks might like to see it. The lens is really a 400mm 2.8 with a 2X extender and macro adapter creating an interesting effect early morning. >>>>About the deer, I find you're very lucky to have them, even though they feed on your flowers, they're the most graceful creatures I've seen in a while, lucky you.<<< Well they're cute critters alright, but when I've planted a garden of wild flowers and sunflowers and see them growing beautifully and about to blossom, then come out and there's a half dozen deer munching them for breakfast it's a tad annoying. So you shoot them!!!! With a camera of course! :-) This year we've had an explosion of births so lots of little ones running about unfortunately being hit by cars as they run across the road. So we just leave them to eat and not spook them to run away onto the road. Besides if we're quiet I get to have a longer time for pictures. Bonus! :-) ted
