I sat here at the computer on a recent sunny afternoon.  I looked up from the monitor and there standing beside my driveway was a deer.  A male.  “How beautiful,” I thought.  “If I had my camera.”  Then I realized the camera was there on the desk.  I picked it up and grabbed a couple of shots.  (These were to blurry to be of use.)

Then I stood where I had a better angle to steady the camera.  The buck was approaching the fence and I tried to time the shot to catch him mid leap.  Fail!

Just passing through. He was soon gone.

The automatics in the camera are nice, but only for some things.  I didn’t have time to switch to a fast burst mode.  I like to use that and then sort through, say 40 frames for the best shot.  The rest I then delete.

Several days later, I looked out the dining room window where I saw a group of the girls searching for some grass to chew.

These three were later joined by a fourth doe and then they were gone

The scene changes every day.  No two are ever alike.  I like that.

It took several hours to handle administrative tasks related to domain renewal.  Actually, most of that time was spent trying to explain the problem and answer the questions of support staff at the hosting company.  I finally have that solved, and it was finished on deadline day. :cloud9:

Don’t expect a steady stream of blog posts starting today.  I’m still finding it necessary to minimize my time at this computer.  And yet I miss all my friends from the blogosphere.

I’m trying to adopt a George Jones attitude.  Not sure what that means?  Watch this:

At least that got my blood to circulating on this damp and chilly,  cloudy and dreary Monday morning.  Wanna dance?
