Deer Through Forest

Out of the forest came a creature. I stopped the car, and had to take a photo, through my rolled down car window. As soon as the lovely deer heard the camera click, he/she turned around and ran back into the forest.

“I realized that Eastern thought had somewhat more compassion for all living things. Man was a form of life that in another reincarnation might possibly be a horsefly or a bird of paradise or a deer. So a man of such faith, looking at animals, might be looking at old friends or ancestors.”

Jewaicious Sunday Scenes

My grandchildren love to watch the birds and ducks at the local lake. No matter the season, they enjoy looking at the feathered friends.

It is Sunday, and that means that you can post your photography on Straight Out Of the Camera Sunday!

Last week there were so many birds and ducks on the ground, more than were in the water. I liked the way they were all standing together, as if waiting for some fun to begin.
