    Hi Ivar! That's interesting! When I studied English, I learnt among other things that there are many old Viking words in the English language. Like "mail" which is derived from "mal"( I can't spell it properly on my computer). So from talking it became eventually writing.So dyr became deer! Thanks!

    Har du vært på safari igjen Ivar? Flott bilde du har fanget. Er det rester av barken som flagrer ned på siden der?

    Kul vinkel på dyret. Artig å se dette kontra den vanlige sideprofilen. Ha en deilig lørdagskveld:-)

    Great winter photo today. Much different to the deer in our part of the world. Much bigger feet like snow shoes, and a big flatter head probably usefull for foraging under the snow.

    The animals you've been photographing lately are so exotic to see for us U.S. folks! That doesn't look like any deer I've seen here! :) Very nice shot.

    Jeg begynner snart å tro på at noen styrer min oppmerksomhet.
    Først Dåhjort til forrett på fredag,
    så Violas blodd
    og nå du og Deer

    Her har du vært på bra skuffhold - heldigvis bare med kamera. Godt truffet!

    Very nice! It looks so gentle just standing there as if you could walk right over to it and scratch it behind the ears! =)

    Enig at det gjorde seg best å beholde de flyvende delene der Ivar, det var liksom med på å gjøre bildet helt! Flott bilde!

    Loved the language lesson!
