I haven’t had much opportunity for photography lately. Between freelance work, sinus infections, and family time, time behind the camera has been a pretty hard thing to come by. Tonight, however, little baby PJ and I struck out to see what we could find. We had played together on the living room floor for quite a while, and I guess I ran him out of energy; as soon as those big knobby tires got rolling, he was out. Oh well.

These deer were at the intersection of River Road and Burnt Boat Road, just across the street from the Ducks Unlimited building. I’d seen deer in people’s yards on the south side of town when we were just beginning our voyage, but the way these three stopped and lined up was too cool to pass up. I’m glad they were willing to stand still for a little bit, even despite a Harley-Davidson® rolling past. Once I’d snapped a couple, they moved on and tried to find a place to cross the street. Dusk is a spooky time along River Road if you have an aversion to hitting deer with your car…look out, they’re pretty bold!
