How could you shoot her?

Yesterday, while returning from my final day cooking at the lodge I work at I saw these 2 beautiful does in a field.

Moving as slowly and carefully as I could I managed to get up to the fence-line and using a fencepost to steady the camera I took about 10 minutes worth of pictures before they casually sauntered off.

We have lots of wildlife around here but being as it’s now hunting season I was very surprised to see them.

From their size I would guess they were quite young and had not yet learned to fear people.

The second, and smaller of the 2 spent most of the time laying down in the long grass leaving me just a view of it’s head but thankfully her sister was not so shy and proudly pranced around, largely ignoring me until I made a small sound or movement intended to alert her just enough to create a ‘pose’.

I hope you like them.

P.S. Obviously they are Whitetails.

 

“Did I do that?”

I took this picture in a nearby town in Newfoundland.

I had a more ‘elaborate’ caption in mind but this one, for me at any rate, filled the bill with both simplicity and humour.

 

Moon over the hilltop

I caught the moon just as it started it’s journey.

Across from my house, not quite visible in the last shot, there is a fair-sized hill.

I waited until the moon gave me the shot I liked and only later did my wife tell me it looked much like the E.T. opening shot.

The red light in the lower right is the buoy marking the harbor entrance  and the others are houses on the hillside on the other side of the harbor.

Obviously the partial blockages are trees on the top of the hill.

 

Moody day on the East coast of the East coast.

This picture was taken from my front porch.

Just around the point on the left you CAN’T see the nearest land East

It’s 4000 km away, the shores of England.

It probably looks a lot like this since we used to be one continent….. Pangaea.

Weather here on the island is INCREDIBLY changeable and often storms come and go within minutes……much like the prairies.
