Belated Birthday pictures - From 10/12
My little buddy is definitely a big boy now. Ethan Just turned 7. Here are some pictures from his Birthday. We had the kids make funny faces if they wanted to.. then we printed those pictures for them to make some fun picture frames. I think it was a fun memorable surprise for him.
Oh Deer, A walk through Durant Nature Park
What if I told you that I didn't have to do anything to find or track these deer. That all I had to do was get out of my car and walk 100 feet into a park to find them eating, laying down, walking around... and that they didn't run away. I spent about an hour in this park watching these deer as they watched me. First I came upon the buck and doe. Both were laying down and allowed me to creep closer and closer into their space. Of course I was using a telephoto lens 70-300... so I wasn't that close, but this is about as close as I've ever been to a deer without a pane of glass between us. Then, when I felt I had overstayed my welcome, I backed away and continued down the trail.. only to look to my left and see a mother and her three fawn. They stuck close to mom... followed her across the trail and into a more covered area of the park. I felt really special to have run across these animals today.
Moral Monday, Raleigh, NC July 15th
After work this Monday, instead of going straight home to my family or to the store to run an errand, ... I decided to see for myself what this thing was about-- this Moral Monday protest that has been going on at the State Legislature for 11 week.
