May morning

Expectations were pretty low this morning: A gray dawn with low clouds. I walked down the farm road trying to avoid scaring off the wildlife from their usual places but it didn’t make any difference, there was no one out but me. Turning to take the obligatory morning shot (there are hundreds in my portfolio) of the small stone buildings at the edge of the Mill Gut, a deer startled me. It wasn’t too happy with the muck at the shore – it jumped around getting its legs unstuck – but it stayed long enough for me to catch this shot.

This and a good dozen other sights and sounds made it a worthy morning – as usual.
