Oh deer

With their regularly scheduled show time falling at dusk when it's difficult to snap hand-held telephoto pics, quality deer photos have been a challenge. But here are some gems from a recent early appearance.

This family of three has grown increasingly curious about us.

He only thinks he can hear me through the window.

Night Time is the Light Time

It really was this dark.

Yet here is a long exposure taken minutes later.

And here's a dangerous one.

And this is the album cover. I think it should be called Nightlight, but someone suggested that it doesn't sound tough enough.

September

The month may be long gone, but here are some images showing the brink of autumn upstate.

Ent hunt

We spotted this fella on a walk down a quiet road. I asked him about The Hobbit movie but couldn't rouse him to get any answers. Not sure if he was sleepy or uppity.

A closer look.

Who cairns?

OK, a cairn is made of stones, but look at these things. They were found down a gravel seasonal road and their origin remains unknown. Though perhaps they were built by the owner of the strangely placed home below, many miles from any body of water.


Secret Ceremony

Recent reconstruction of the back deck of the main house led to a strange discovery, this never before documented instance of flower pots bowing before their deity, the canoe. While I remain tolerant and non-judgmental, I can't deny my surprise.

Fruity Fall

In the already long gone days of early autumn, the yard was aglow with crab apple and pear trees bursting with ripe fruit.


I've never eaten so many pears in one month, best roasted with honey.
