Heading home

Note to self:

 
1. When you leave your camera at home you insure that there will be a deer sighting; maybe even a doe and a fawn.

2. Always have a Plan B.

This morning I took a walk in the woods around Island Lake to soak up the clear blue sky and the trees just starting to turn, some already bright yellow and red. Hoping to catch a glimpse of the deer I know live in one area, I remembered I'd forgotten my camera. That's when I saw a doe watching me just a few yards away. Along came her fawn and I blessed them both as they just stood watching me. Above is from another summer, same lake and woods with lens.

Still working on Plan B.

Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.

  2. Been there without the camera and wondering why I didn't slip the little one in my pocket. Really like this shot and the *new* look of your blog. Hugs--

  5. Hi Noni. Isn't it the truth? I can't tell you how many times my cell phone camera has saved the day when my camera has inexplicably migrated out of my purse (and I generally carry TWO of them).

To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws, to be led by permanent ideals--that is what keeps a man patient when the world ignores him, and calm & unspoiled when the world praises him.
Honoré de Balzac
