Mule Deer

Went to Sabino Canyon to paint this morning. A mule deer went bounding by, then stopped seeing the plein air demonstration ahead.
On her way back I got these pics.


Click on pic to get larger version; love my Cannon Rebel.
She was pretty far away from me, I was zoomed in and I cropped the image so you could find her.

Also saw a snake but his head is in the cactus so not real impressive.

See the dust from her feet?

My easel had an umbrella on it for shade, wind gusted by and took the whole thing down. The pastel dust was evenly distributed across the image losing any detail I had. >:-[
