Those who follow SDP regularly know how much I enjoy visiting Myakka State Park in Sarasota, especially at dusk. The wildlife here really likes to come out and put on a show in the early evening, from wild boar to birds of prey to deer. When I spotted this deer standing alone near the river getting a drink, the scene seemed almost too perfect. Serenity at dusk. To see other submissions for the letter D visit ABC Wednesday.
In other news, I heard from Lexi the goldendoodle's human yesterday. Good news -- Lexie got her stitches out already. Apparently, neither the stitches nor the cone slowed her down. Way to go, Lexie! They're already planning their next trip to Sarasota with lots of beach romping and rock chasing for Lexie.

Deer are so graceful, very nice shot!
Excellent shot. I'll be looking forward to more of your wildlife photos from the park.
You must have the patience of a Florida Panther to capture shots like these.
This is a delightful image SRQ, how lucky you are to see these sweet creatures.. And also excellent news re Lexie, you just can't keep a good dog down.

Good news about Lexi, too.

Deer are such a great subject to capture! And yours is beautiful. A great D-word:)
A dainty looking little creature. Almost like Bambi.
This is idyllic! So beautiful!
Glad to hear that Lexi is OK. Can't keep a good dog down.
Deer are the most beautiful creatures, and you captured this one nicely.
Extra points for the alliteration.
And the deer moved to its best side to give you a fine profile.
Lovely shot. She's beautiful (why did I say she? :) ) Reminds me of Bambi.
What a nice model!
And also a nice composition.
A beautiful picture, as always!! And thanks for mentioning Lexie! : D
