Backyard Deer

We got home from Austin's game tonight to see a deer hanging out in the backyard.  I didn't have time to get my 1.4x multiplier so the pictures are quite cropped but seeing deer from the new deck I built is the perfect way to end a day :)  



I got her attention

This deer has some serious hops!
Not the most graceful pose I've ever seen

Stargazer Lily

Michelle got me flowers last week for doing something special and the stargazer lilies were absolutely beautiful.  I took this picture in our dining room with natural light.  The set up was actually pretty funny.  I clipped the flower to a banana stand and had a suit coat laying over my piano bench.  I put the flower and stand in between the flaps on the jacket and shot away with my macro lens.  The only post processing was slightly darkening the shadows so you wouldn't see the lines of the jacket itself in the background.  For a first attempt at this kind of shot I thought it turned out pretty well!
