Where the deer and the antelope play...

Ever since we got the West Wing, I have had expectations that one day I would look out of our living room window and see deer feeding.



See him? Probably not. He's on the road in the distance. You can see his little white face. Try this -- taken with my new camera and it's 30x optical, 740 mm zoom.



It's pictures like this where manual focus is essential. All the auto focus cameras would just get the tree branches, and indeed, so did the Fuji. Switch to manual focus and voila, a deer emerges from the woods. Then walks away.



By the way, we don't have antelope. But we do have noisy squirrels.
