The exposure range was extreme enough that it burned out the area in the upper right, but it seemed not to distract from the image too much. The point of land in the middle distance (it’s hard to see the far distance) is Point Hudson.
Well, I guess this isn’t such a young buck … maybe 4 years old … but it wasn’t very large. He was wandering around in Fort Worden State Park.

And without any natural enemies (except auto traffic), they numbers are way too high … so they attack my hydrangeas and fuchsias for a snack.
This is the lighthouse at Point Wilson in For Worden State Park in Port Townsend, WA.

The sunlight brightening up the lighthouse was particularly nice.
