Here are some more animals from my Summer Trip to The Wilds in Ohio. You can see the first post here. This is a Banteng the forerunner of today's cows. A very large animal.
This is a Scimitar Oryx, the horns are the shape of the sword.

My brother-in-law, Bro, made another neat capture out his back door during a Texas lightning storm. I think the capture is stunning with his pair tree near the base of the strike.
It is fun to remember your photo trips.

#2 Is my Great Blue Hostas that has been touched by frost. Congrats to Ann for getting the answer. She has her city garden on her post this week.
It seem to come down a lot faster then it goes up.
There are two main pieces of equipment used in the demolition. The first is the bulldozer.
The Bumblebee in the center was accompanied by a Metallic Green Bee.
They really are a pretty bird, people feed them in the parking lots.
This is a man made lake and you can see the dam at the North end of the lake. It flows into Breakneck Creek which flows North then West until it reaches the Cuyahoga River as it flows South. The show in the Fall is so beautiful at the lake but the weather is changing and it makes it so hard to fish from a boat.
If you now look closely you can see the fawn must have jumped just as I took the photo. You can see the tail of the deer in the right top corner in perfect focus. Now that you know it's a deer I think you can see it with the back legs and butt in the air with the head forward. It was a cloudy day and the camera tried hard to pull in the light. No-one was able to get this tricky one. It was a special capture of the little fawn. This photo would have been deleted before What Is It.
#2 Was tricky in its own way. The green and red were definitely lichen in bloom. The brown is Tamarack Tree (Larch) leaves lying on the ground. The Tamarack drop there leaves every year and are found in the bogs in Ohio. They do look like a pine tree as they grow. We had some great guesses from Ann who said lichen and pine needles (check out her lake post), Gaelyn who knew the lichen was blooming (check out her trip into the canyon and her perm) and Darla who said it was dead leaves (she has blooming in her Florida garden and butterflies). Really neat job by the three of you, a trio of smart ladies.
#2 This could be easy or hard. You let me know. There are two elements to guess.
This is a lone Maple across the street which is in full color. We had freezing temperatures last night and we may have a short Indian Summer for the next few days.
I really enjoy the look of roses and these ones were really red.
Yes he did get up on top and he is a big fellow.
The White Tailed Deer are also getting braver. This mother and her young fawns came all the way up to the house. I will show you more tomorrow.
My friend, Tom of Wiggers World , gave my site his seal of approval. Thanks for the neat gift of approval Tom.
