Riding country roads

I did an easy 21-miler recovery ride today while the girls were in camp. I brought the camera along and got some more local color shots. It finally rained a bit last night - the first real rain in about two months here! So it was quite steamy and hazy today.
Plus I saw the fawn again! With her Mom, about a quarter-mile from where I saw her before. I'm hoping it's the same one, at least. Again, frighteningly close to a busy highway, along which I was driving when I saw the pair, but at least they were together this time with Mom hopefully keeping baby away from traffic.

  1. I love all of your country pics - they make me miss the east coast.

    Deer are dumb as bricks as far as I can tell. Really. Otherwise why would they run right in front of cars? So dumb.

  3. Thanks! I want to do a painting of it, I've taken a couple shots on that road already. I have to get there in the late afternoon to get a shot when the shadows are across the road, though. I always see deer in that field to the left, too. It's a gorgeous spot!!

  5. what camera are you using? I know you were trying to go small and ultra compact but those are stunning like a full res photo.
