Living in the Country....

At first, the idea of living "so far out" didn't really appeal to me.  I just went along with it.  Over the last few months, I've come to love our little home in the woods.  It's peaceful, quiet, and serene here.  The dogs have adjusted so well, are happy and quiet....until this morning.  Stormy kept barking and barking.  I went outside several times and couldn't see the usual bugs she barks at, turtle, or even a snake.  I finally looked beyond her pen, and behold...a DEER.  Actually, a family of little deer.  I ran inside, grabbed my camera, put on my zoom lens, and crept back outside.  The dogs barking didn't phase the deer at all.  I didn't want to get too close- 1, because I was in a pair of Luke's crocs....and we all know about me and shoes, and 2, I was afraid of seeing/stepping on a snake in the woods.  So, these are what I took.  I'm pretty happy now with living in the country!!!
