Finally got out of the house, even the rain couldn’t keep me in… thank you big jacket and water-resistant lens bags.
I spotted the deer near the entrance of one of the parks I visited this week. Pulling to the side of the road, I dropped the window and tried to not scare him away.
Minimizing my movements by not turning off the car radio, I soon discovered he liked old Doobie Bros. ~ “… without love, where would you be right now…” ~ tapping his hoof to the music, he ran away only after the final note faded away. (I really have no idea if this was a male deer or a doe.)
The snap of the fence… that’s not snow… it’s sand. It is really that white.
In the final photo, I got a little artsy. It was a little chilly out and I kept having to clean condensation off the LCD screen. To get the foggy feel in the shot, I intentionally fogged up the lens, letting it burn off until I could get the effect I wanted.

How did you get that deer to pose for you? 🙂 All ours do is dash away-usually into oncoming traffic! Ella Numera Dos just got home from down FLA-way, and said things were a bit chilly all week. That didn’t stop her, though, from walking on the beach and bringing her Mama back a treasure-trove of shells!

I think I like the b&w with the leaves. Don’t know why, but I’m drawn to it.
