Deer Neighbor

Gosh I have not posted in so long. Sorry about that. Now with Spring approaching I will get out more and practice improving my photography.

Tonight, I took Misha out for a walk while Jim was working on a few things in the basement. I got a few houses down and Misha stopped to sniff some trees. I saw three of the cutest deer about 20 feet from me. They saw me staring but they were not startled, instead they were kind of playing and prancing around the yard rather joyfully. Of course I left the house without my camera and I knew they wouldnt wait for me. So off we went to finish the walk. Coming home I noticed a deer in the woods across the street. So this time, I ran in the house grabbing my camera leaving Misha in the house.

The deer heard me and ran off to the ridgeline over looking the Bay bluff but was silhouetted nicely with the sun begininning to set. So I did take a few shots.

So here is a shot of our deer neighbor

That picture reminds me of another dear that Kara and Michael will be expecting in late July or first week in August. They found out their baby is going to be a little girl. They have picked out the cutest nursery theme that features some woodland characters especially a deer. Jim and I are soooo excited to see our first grandchild.

Thanks for checking in and hope I can start posting more often now that the weather is improving.

What a perfect, and stunningly beautiful shot. Really...it is simply breathtaking. I love the colors and dynamic feeling of the background. Amazing. I would be so exciting to catch such a shot that I would probably drop my camera.

Amazing shot! You captured the beautiful sunset and love the silhouette!!

Jess said...

WOW, what a STUNNING shot!!! You should print it and give it to them as a gift for their little "dear's" room! :)

That is such a beautiful shot - so fresh and different. I love everything about it - the color, the silhouette. Great job!

The deer looks like the outline or silhouette is on aged parchment..only better. Beautiful. I agree with the other poster that a print would make a lovely gift for a woodland nursery.

I have some pics of what some parents have done in their baby's rooms with baby owls, trees and birds that are really cute. And here's a set of baby deer bedding that's cute.

I'd love to include a picture of Kara and Michael's deer designs (including your photo framed in the background, HINT HINT!) in my gallery of pictures or maybe they will enter it in my baby picture contest?
