There is something life-affirming about it. Wonderful perspective!<BR/><BR/>Sarah, between dreams...I like that. The tossing and turning amid the night noises. Very true. Somewhere between knowing and not knowing.<BR/><BR/>Jaye, I feel that way about them too. I think about their journeys when we find their prints in the morning.<BR/><BR/>Geraldine, it's an infrared camera with an infrared emitter. The photos are ghostly.<BR/><BR/>Jamie, I hear you. Deer populations are a tough issue in Pennsylvania. The suburbs get overrun by the munchers.<BR/><BR/>EOH, that whirring sound is like nails on a blackboard.

But somehow when you say it it's much prettier!<BR/><BR/>I just passed a deer on the road 5 minutes ago. They're so shy you don't see them often even though there are hundreds around the woods here. You have to drive around being aware of their existence because they jump out on the roads and get spooked so easily. And yet it's always such a surprise to spot them. You must've been very quiet to get this shot!JaneyVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951739945670483199noreply@blogger.com
