The first day out with my new tripod – I snuck into the ditch to photograph the deer coming up my road. It wasn’t until later that I noticed the wound on her neck.

After such a tragic injury, I am glad she looks to be getting back to healthy. She is a survivor, just like my “Cassie Canvasback” series’ posts, who’s wing is so severely injured, she cannot fly and was not able to migrate back to the north this past Spring with her fellow species. These ‘survivors’ can be seen to us humans as an inspiration.

I know! I read your story about her. At first I was sad but it is truly great that you are following her journey and that she has been able to survive. Thanks for keeping tabs on her!

She likely had an advantage in the two feet of snow…they can really jump when they need to!

Wow – she looks pretty rough around the collar eh? Great shot! I’ve yet to try a tripod…you’ve inspired me to consider it!

The tripod is handy to have. Mine is a very lightweight, portable travel type tripod so I can carry it with ease. And yet, I hardly ever use it 😉 I think I just enjoy the free hand approach so much more. Most of my objects – the birds and kids move too fast for me to have a set location. Don’t get sucked in! A pillow placed in the right spot near a flower would work just as well.
