Brian asked me, "Do you want to go and see some deer?". I thought he might be talking about some zoo near by. I never thought of spotting some bucks in the backyard. It was fun, a lot of fun.
The sun was about to set when we started off for the little backyard safari. We hoped onto one of the truck, with my camera and a binocular.
It was getting dark and I was kind of liking that journey. There isn't the hassles of city life anywhere, no noise pollution. Just us and the nature. With the cool and comforting breeze, my mind was fresh and I was excited looking out for some bucks around.

A hunter's skill to spot a buck is incredible. I admired that in Brian.
Summer in Arkansas turned the hay in the farm to the perfect golden colored portrait. A perfect camouflage for the bucks to hide. The hay was so tall that it was tough to spot the buck. But Brian's eyes were sharper than a binocular.
I was shocked when he spotted a buck from a far distance. When I asked him how he could do that, I was amazed with that little trick - "Look for the difference. Something whitish in the midst of the golden hays around". Yup, that works!
We found 6-7 of them around. Gazing with their families, they were too having a perfect evening.
The whole trip was awesome. A perfect mini safari in the backyard...
