CONNIE’S WORLD

Deer near chicken farm.

Deer wants to cross the road.

Deer in Flight

On the way home from our cabin at Buck Mountain… look at what we found. This looks like several deer but it’s just one deer trying to cross the road near the chicken farm. When we spotted her, we stopped and she froze. She looked up the hill as if that’s where she wanted to go but she turned back and ran into this field. By the time I focused the camera on her, she was looking back at us as if to wait for us to leave so she could continue her journey. When we stayed to shoot some pictures she eventually ran off into the bushes. I shot several pictures, but these were the best of the bunch. Notice that as she leaps away her ears are still turned back in our direction.

Turtle in a hurry!

OK…. earlier there was a turtle too when I was out on the Ranger. But he was not nearly as exciting as the deer. I waited for him to cross the road so he would not get run over by another motorist. For a turtle… he was in a hurry to go somewhere. I think he was late for a very important date. He was not real pleased with me taking pictures either but he did wait long enough for a couple of shots.

These shots remind me to always have my camera within reach. You never know when you are going to see something worth shooting. Even if it is a turtle late for a date.

Seeing a little wild life was a great way to end our trip this Labor Day weekend.
