Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

Fewer birds today — only a Black-capped Chickadee. While cooking dinner, I looked out the kitchen window and saw at least eight deer. At least they were on the correct side of the electric fence. The OIS (optical image stabilization) in the Fuji lens does a great job — these images were hand-held with the shutter speed between 1/20 to 1/45 second.

Deer walking outside the electric fence to a wildflower meadow. Images taken with a Fuji X-T2 camera and 100-400 mm OIS lens. Individual images in the slideshow are available in my PhotoShelter Gallery.
