Today was a wonderful and very beautiful day in the Washington DC area today. I visited a local park today in Grennbelt, Maryland and relaxed taking the smell of freshly fallen leaves on the ground and fed one of my furry friends. I also saw a buck (at least a four-point) which was with three does while I was in the woods. The buck and the does were staring me down for a while to see what I was and if I was a threat to them. They both (buck itself and the does as a group) finally moved so that I could take a picture of them. The buck was behind the trees where I couldn’t get a clear shot of him. The does were behind some trees as well and finally came out onto the main path. It was a beautiful culmination to a relaxing day. I have several pictures to leave you with. I’ll have more pictures of other things like moss, fallen trees, bracket fungi and other forest pictures later. Enjoy. 
Yours in nature and relaxation,
Joseph R. Mays
