Saying "Yes" to Deer
There is a man who gets visited by squirrels. He started photographing them and even seems to make some kind of a living from it, according to his magazine write-up.
I get visited by deer.
I won't give them little umbrellas for photo-ops like he does. However, I've decided that while I live in the Middle of Nowhere, I might as well document them, even though they're not wolves, or bears, or anything else equally menacing to suit a badass lady such as myself. After all, this fits my photographic seeing-the-beauty-in-the-everyday mentality.
I even recognize some of them, like the trooper female deer who's somehow gotten injured months ago and hops on three legs, yet somehow keeps going.
So you might be seeing a lot of regular, but not average white-tailed deer (and some mule deer, too). Enjoy the cuteness, like this youngster!
P.S. I still need to befriend some ravens or crows to balance out this equation!
On Alert
Happy New Year!
Happy Secular New Year
From the Middle of Nowhere!

Even though this is a civic rather than an astronomical or a religious holiday, I wish you all health, wealth, peace, joy, and plain old fun in 2016!
