Saved by "the Same Old"
Monday, January 3, 2011 at 1:51PM So, I'll start off the year by boring you with my endless photos of deer and birds. Hooray! Ya'll come back now, ya hear...
Really, the problem is I have to pick one as my shot of the day, and I can't decide which one I like the best. I like them all for different reasons...
Which one do you like?
I lucked out today, I think, and it's funny because I almost didn't bother. I saw the deer in the field when I pulled in after dropping Griffin off at school, but it's cold today, and I have so many photos of the deer already...
I almost didn't go.
Even though I walked down the lane with a little bit of a ho-hum attitude, I ended up feeling surprised by the experience. I had no idea that the deer above had his tongue sticking out until I was done uploading the pictures. It makes me laugh, and the look on that cardinals face below makes me laugh even harder. Boing!
I was completely surprised to see the buck. He comes around sometimes, but not that often...every time I see him, though, he takes my breath away...(because he's beautiful and because I think he's going to charge me).
So, really, walking down to photograph "the same old" deer turned out to be, not a ho-hum experience at all, but more of a "hmm" experience. The whole thing got me thinking about...well, a lot of things...and I already had a lot on my mind to begin with.
Whenever I've considered posting lately, I have been hit by an avalanche of my own thoughts. I have too much to say right now. I'm not sure how it will all come tumbling out, so instead I decided to bore you with my deer and bird photos. :)
Happy New Year to you! I can't wait to see what surprises 2011 has in store for us!

They are all awesome pictures, but I'm partial to the cardinal. Gardening in deer country has ruined my good feelings toward deer! They really are quite pretty though...in someone else's garden.
LOVE the deer and the red birds.
two things i DON.T get to see in phoenix.
happy new year.
