Deer on a rainy morning

It's a gray and rainy Friday morning in July. I left the house a little after 6am, and it was about 6:30am when I got down to Teawaddle Hill Road. The lake was quiet, empty, not even birds. Came down the "S" curves and no deer or turkey or anything. Then as I passed the pond by Haskins Meadow I saw them. I couldn't believe my luck. I stopped the car, and then finally pulled my car into the driveway just enough to watch them. Three beautiful deer. Two quite small. I tried to take some pictures but when I zoomed in my camera got the raindrops on my windshield instead of the deer. My clearest photos are the ones I took from further back, without the zoom. I hope you can see them. I wish the closer ones came out better, but when I look at them here online it was just a fuzzy blur. :-(

Monday morning

Summer (July 17) morning sunrise

Took a couple of quick pictures this morning at 6:15am by the lake. A little too quick as it happened. I was surprised, well not truly, but there were a couple of people swimming at the dam in the sunrise. I always think it's so early at that hour and then I see people there swimming or fishing as the sun comes up. Have to admit I'm a little jealous as I am only passing that way to go to work. :-)

There were people to the right of the building on the dam. I was careful to not get them in the photo since I didn't actually stop and talk to them or anything.
