Cry of Desperation & Helplessness.

This stag had an injury on his Thigh.

Our Guide informed that it had been seen resting at the same spot for the last 2 days. Cobwebs had started to build up on its horns.

I was in a local state park where there are ample of humming birds. They mostly feed off of the feeders they have put up but then also feed on the flowers that have bloomed in the garden. This particular one seemed to love this plant. This area was in shade with nice greens behind it. I have been hoping to shoot a humming bird on flowers from… Read more
