Unexpected 23 June 2016

Ventures: an undertaking involving uncertainty of the outcome.

We were returning from our early morning jaunt to the lake.

(for a half hour or so, the RG casts his line along the shore.

I wander around with my camera.)

As we approached our driveway, the RG stopped on the road. 

Right to our left, 
were a white-tailed doe and her fawn.

She took a long look at our big red truck

and then slowly moved forward behind some pine trees.

We drove slowly past our house knowing 

she would appear a little further up the road.

We weren't disappointed. There she was prancing along.

And wouldn't you just know . . .

the scene was complete with 'a fence'.

to speak a great language.

Cute 'Button Buck' on a recent day trip to neighboring Ohio

He looked surprised to see us

but step by step came in closer.

 A button buck usually tends to be a buck that is only 6 months old. Since it is within their first year, they only have little nubs where their antlers will develop.

On a hazy Labor Day morning as we approached the launch;

this White Tail Deer mom and young one stepped out.

And proceeded to cross the road.

But apparently someone was missing 

 So back they go to locate the wanderer

After launching and while trolling the shoreline for bass

we spotted these three Wood Ducks basking in the sun.

The temps rose quickly and we headed home about 10:30 a.m.

after a short but relaxing outing.
