The White Hart

A very pretty white, Fallow Deer buck, Dave.  What a gentle expression and lovely look back pose for you with the side light falling nicely on the face.  The white bucks are indeed often used for White Hart pub signs, although the true meaning of 'Hart' was Stag, as in Red Deer.  Now to see a White Hart, Red Deer would be amazing.  There was one in the Scottish Highlands in 2008, the location was a closely guarded secret and the last one we heard of was on Exmoor last year, as soon as it became news it was killed by poachers and its head cut off for a trophy - I would have loved to get my hands on those poachers.........

One occasion Carol where the stuff of myth and legend needed to do a bit of work and send them to hell.

Oh Yes!

Lovely look-back pose, I like your framing.

Great look-back pose and framing, Dave.

This is AWESOME. Very interesting read too. His eyes are so clear. I like the juxtaposition- quite different than a head on. Unique. Very nice.

Striking animal and great pose- what a story! And an impressive find. Kudos, Dave!

Lovely image Dave, thanks for the background info - also that by Carol.
Medieval torture seems best suited to poachers and their ilk!
