I was very happy to get this photo. We were on a Saturday afternoon road trip going through the countryside (the 22nd). Gregg spotted a deer crossing the road three hundred yards in front of us. I got my cell phone ready and pointed it towards the spot where she disappeared - hoping but keeping expectations low - and there she was on the hill just coming into frame as we drove by. One of nature’s amazing gifts. It was another perfect day for a drive, an incredible blue sky and white, puffy clouds. There were no other deer that we could see. Perhaps she was joining her family in the tree line that we had just passed.
Surprise photo opportunities like this are the best. And this is perfect with the bright green grass and puffy clouds.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are Ginny :) thank you. I was happy to get this photo. It is sometimes hard when you are driving along. We weren't going very fast but even so, traffic behind us, relatively narrow road, couldn't stop but I got the photo and I felt fortunate.
DeleteA beautiful scene with tranquility
ReplyDeleteThank you Roentare, tranquility is a perfect word :)
DeleteWhat a gorgeous shot - and it looks like a perfect day for a drive too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue, it was absolutely perfect in every way :)
DeleteThis made me smile we were walking on the hills yesterday in the pouring rain and a deer appeared in front of us on the track. I didn't have my camera ready, so well done you! Have a happy week.

DeleteI do feel so blessed and happy when natured presents her gifts. so far I have not recieved the gift of a sighting of a deer . beautiful and just the right timeing
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra, and thank you. I enjoy them all the more these days. We don't get to see deer that often. A true gift to see one :)
DeleteGreat shot! I need to get my camera out and go for a walk. So many great photo opportunities around here that we take for granted.
ReplyDeleteHello Jim and Barb :) Yes, I agree. Even a walk around the garden I can find them ;)
DeleteDeer may be beautiful but they are feeding on my petunia blooms. they just eat the blooms. It's always exciting to see a deer.
ReplyDeleteI remember a friend telling me that they ate all the heads off her tulips, but seeing a deer is always exciting to me :)
DeleteSounds like a lovely drive
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine, it was, very much so :)
DeleteYou captured a beautiful photo, Denise! Sounds like a lovely drive under those pretty clouds.

DeleteI love seeing deer. You really do have good photographer's Karma!! I would have had a lovely picture of blue sky.
