A Good Day For Deer Photography

© By Othmar Vohringer

Yesterday was a gloriously nice day day. For the first time it felt like spring here in Merritt. My wife and I celebrated that day by taking our cameras and driving out on a Nicola Valley photography tour. In all the years we live here we've never seen that many deer out and about in the fields in the middle of the afternoon. Deer where everywhere and by the time we came back home we must have seen over 100 deer. Here are a few images from yesterday.

Part of the first group of deer we spotted on a hillside at a cattle ranch.

Another section of a group consisting over 30 deer in a alfalfa field near a lush river bottom.

A few miles further along the highway another group of deer... This went on like that all afternoon. No matter where we drove or walked we saw deer everywhere.
