Out in the Cold

This morning, a herd of hungry deer forages for food

Without the well-timed intervention of Mother Nature, this post might have been about the internecine goings-on in New Jersey politics. 

Fortuitously, a pleasant mid-morning event occurred which prompted a reversal of topics.

I was in the kitchen and had just begun to peel a large rutabaga while listening to classical music.  Its source was Music Choice TV emanating from the south-facing living room, and I decided to pause and to walk over to adjust the volume.

From the front windows, I spotted a herd of alert deer moving quickly from one neighbor’s lot to the other.  I snatched the Nikon which I always keep nearby, and started to snap photos of those beautiful, shrub-devouring residents of Central Jersey.
