Doe, a deer, a female deer

While I was running in Phoenix Park, I came upon two different herds (?) of deer just in the open field. Wow, now that was a great site to see in the middle of Dublin. They were just eating and didn’t have a care in the world, though a couple of the male deer were looking my way to make sure I didn’t get too close.

Needless to say, since I can’t outrun a deer, nor a herd of them, and I doubt I’d like the feeling of antlers on my backside, I decided to keep my distance and let my digital camera do the zooming.

Beautifil!

This morning I had to run between a group of geese (?) and I hoped they wouldn't get mad at me. They didn't. I didn't want any beaks in my back!

That was so funny - I was looking at that picture thinking that's got to be near me, it just looks too DAMP for the US and it was Dublin..

Gorgeous. Don't you just love it when you see this stuff out on your run? Would never happen in a car...

Oh my, what a treat! Glad you had your camera with you so we could see too. Thanks for sharing!

There are ducks at a local park (drainage system) near me that I run. They are so used to me now and don't even move if I quack at them as I run by...

Cool picture! Great eye! How do you carry the camera?
