ku # 555 ~ life's magic moments

Browsing widlifeclick to embiggen
I had just walked out of the forest after checking my lines (hoping for for some opossum meat for dinner - the recession is starting to get closer to home) and I heard a faint rustling at my back.

I turned around and there they were - 2 deer browsing for their dinner. Fortunately, I was armed for (photographic) bear and I quietly mounted the big gun (with image stabilization turned on) and fired away. It was one of life's magic moments. Not nearly as magic as blowing them away with a real (big) gun and taking them home for dinner - no opossum on the lines - but I guess you have to take what you can get in these hard times.

It looked to me that it was hard times for the deer as well. They were so emaciated that I swear I could almost see right through them.

I guess they were having a light lunch.
