Happy Monday!

I can say happy Monday because I am retired! 🙂

Yesterday afternoon I had some errands to run so I took my camera with me and then did a little ride through the countryside to see if I could find some photo opportunities.

This image happened by accident.  I saw a large hawk perched on a tall tree limb and I stopped well short to set up my camera and long lens.  I got in position, rolled down the window and as soon as the lens came out of the window opening he took off.  I was disappointed but as I lowered my gaze I saw this deer just staring at me.  🙂

I decided to go by the Buffalo ranch to see if any of them wanted their picture taken.  They weren’t very cooperative and even though he had his back to me I was determined to get a shot of him.

I hadn’t been out in the country for a long time and I was amazed as to just how much snow they have had.  There were drifts higher than the top of my vehicle.  The snow is crusted over with a layer of ice and it was just as cold as it looks in this image.

Enjoy your day and be careful.
