The above shot was the last one I got as the buck scampered away. This actually belonged with the next group of photos. The folks below were on one of the horse trails beside the lagoon. Abner was also frustrated since this was only a few minutes after not getting up close to the deer.

The photo above is the stretch of path I mentioned in the text for this month. This was a place where we almost went deaf from the sound of the Cicadas. Below is one of the multitude of groundhogs that we see everywhere at Biltmore. This one was particularly brazen and didn't move until we were about 15 feet away.
