Thanks Jan. I've seen one before a few times.Even quite near my home here in the city since we have a large park and some small forest and hill patches around here. But this was the first time I had my camera ready and was prepared for one. It was so great that he came back near the hunting tower where I was sitting since I thought I was late and wouldn't see him again after the early morning encounter.

While out hiking yesterday I spotted a herd of red deer grazing in a clearing in the forest. I think the snow at higher levels had driven them down the hill. I have often got shots of the backside of a deer running away from me, but this time I think they had safety in numbers as they kept a watchful eye on me. It's a shame that the longest lens I had with me was 200mm, so this is cropped to about a quarter of the frame.

Since we seem to have a deer and fox theme at the moment, here's my best picture of an arctic fox in its summer coat, taken in Svalbard three years ago.

The 135L at its best is an amazing lens. Taken with 60D at f/5.6. I think this is pretty amazing detail on the bee for a non-macro lens taken from this distance.

I actually finished #4 out of #92 on a dpreview challenge with this photo! I've learned a lot from everyone on the forum and wanted to say thanks for all of the tips, etc...
