Next to a boardwalk on a rise above the Mud Volcano in Yellowstone National Park, we came upon this small mule deer buck, a five-pointer, casually munching on sweet grass shoots among old downed forest fire trees. Oblivious of the dozen cameras clicking away, he moved from spot to spot, occasionally jumping over a tree to get to the next spot. I was on the far right end of the group, with my camera on a tripod for better clarity in the fading light of day, and I noticed what he was doing and that he was working his way in my direction. So I adjusted my settings to catch him in motion as he leaped... and finally succeeded. (Incidentally, finding him was much better than the Mud Volcano, one of the few uninteresting spots in the park.). 9.16-9
