Robert Goldberg photographed this Buck with a nice big rack recently. The Buck was looking at Robert through the window of his Sea Ranch home.
You will see the Buck's antlers are in velvet. Velvet is the soft membrane that nourishes the growing bones underneath. If you could touch it, you'd find it is hot!
Thanks to Robert for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
It's cooler today - temps in the 70's at Rick's and my place, and no wind. Very lovely.
