Bridge Over Creek

? Bridge goes over creek

 

Deer on the Trail

? What is this I see?? ? Six deer in the grass by the nature trail.? This mini woods is in the middle of the city and surrounded by houses and buildings on all sides.? I would have expected to see homeless hanging out here (like by Gray’s Lake) more than deer.

 

Deer in field

? Oh, you see me too?? I was real careful not to make any sudden movements.? These young deer were so urbanized they not only hung out beside us two for 10 minutes, but a couple of them almost walked right up to us.

 

Deer

? Let’s get a move on.? The horny deer furthest to the right tries to mount the one ahead of it.

 

Trail

Each deer looks and pauses before crossing.? Smart.

 

Deer Running

? The deer run through the field along the trail up towards the busy street.? I’m not sure where they went or if they crossed, but I didn’t see any blood in the street the next day.

 

Walking Trail in Iowa

 

Riding bicycles on trail

Sun Setting

? Gorgeous sunset

 

Tree in dark sky

? Bare tree with many missing limbs from the ice storm

 

Getting Dark

 

Trees overhang the trail

? Most of these pics are a little blurry, I’m? still getting used to the Nikon D40.? I manually set the apperture to wide open earlier this day and forgot to change it back.? As you can tell on many shots, the depth of view is short.? Gotta start from somewhere…
