Velvet..

This stag was resting in the shade as I came around the corner of our house..


Wow..I didn't jump as high as he did...OK..I jumped a little..but certainly caught off guard ..


He stopped just long enough for me to get a quick shot of him..


Yesterday, we broke yet another heat record for this time of year...37.8C..


Today even feels warmer...if that is possible..
