299 Days until the US Open at Chambers Bay

I have been walking Chambers Creek Properties for years. I have been carrying a camera since 2009. With the US Open coming to the Chambers Bay Golf Course, which is part of the property, I have decided to share a picture each day for the 365 days leading up to the tournament. The US Open is scheduled to begin on June 18, 2015. As of today, we are 299 days away.

Today's Picture:

Black-tailed Deer (Odocoileus hemionus) are among our best known mammals. Don't expect them on the golf course, but they can be found pretty much anywhere else. Most of my sightings have been from the East Slope Trail. That's where I saw this buck. He ran up a hill, and I couldn't see anything but his head. I decided to use that as an excuse for a close-up.
