Deer By The Roadway

These deer emerge every evening from the large city park in the background, undeterred by the traffic just a few yards away.

Deer

This is the wooded area I pass driving to and from work. It was dusk, which is the time the deer show up. They were in two groups, about a dozen in all. Even though this area is close to the road, many drivers do not even notice them, they blend so well with their environment. One driver did stop and took some photos from his car using his cell phone. Then, he decided he wanted to get closer and tried to approach through high grass. Needless to say, he spooked the deer.

The best part of discovering this vanity plate was watching the double take of the woman whose car was parked next to it.

Residential Deer

Deer are numerous where I live. I often see them at dusk on my way home from work at the edge of one of our city parks but tonight I spotted these two crossing the street in a residential neighborhood, an unexpected sight. I pulled my car over to the side of the road, doused my lights and snapped blindly. The photo looked black but thanks to Photoshop, I was able to salvage this blurry image.
