Re: Bushy Park.

Super photo's, PooBear.
I got mobbed in that park many years ago now, was riding my bike through it & I had a nice crusty loaf of bread in the basket, suddenly lots of deer arrived from all sides & I fell of my bike & the deer made of with the bread. I never took a short cut through the park again when carrying bread.

Re: Bushy Park.

Great photos PooBear .... I love the 'action' ones, 1 and 4

Re: Bushy Park.

Love these photos! Especially No.3 with him peering over the grass, so funny "yes? did you want something?"

Re: Bushy Park.

Excellent photos and it's hard to believe now that there were WWII yanks billeted there in large huts.

Re: Bushy Park.

Great photos PooBear, I love the way the background is blurred, it gives the photo depth.....The deer seem to stand out in the foreground...... Especially 1,3 and 4...

Re: Bushy Park.

Great shots PooBear, wonderful lighting showing off his spectacular crown, particularly in the 'back at you' shot. (Is that a 12 point crown? Makes him a Royal Stag!)

Smashing photos.
