My wife and I like to hike and love to spend time outdoors as much as possible. With the introduction of three small kids to our lives, we don't get to hit the trails as much as we used to. But there are a number of parks near our house that we love to take the kids to. Often we stay until dusk and have the opportunity to see deer and other critters active when the sun sets. One trick for photographing animals (or any nature scenes) when it gets dark and you're in your car...remember to turn off the engine -- you'll get less camera shake!
