All right, natural science correspondents, I may have got the deer species  completely wrong, but I couldn’t resist the pun.

After so much bad weather here recently, with autumn seeming ever closer, the wind dropped today and the sun seemed to gather itself for one renewed effort on the last day of August. The bracken in the park has grown very tall, hiding the deer until a moment before you see them. The deer have grown big antlers. I was so pleased to snap this little beauty today.
