Sky gazing




To see this photo in a larger size, click here.

Last Friday I took my camera out with me at lunchtime intent on capturing the skies for Skywatch Friday. It was a cloudy, miserable day, but I thought I'd try to find something interesting anyway. I headed over to the Catherine Chevalier Forest Preserve to see what was happening. What I found there were deer. Lots and lots of deer. While is was eating in my car, I watched seven deer graze in the open field around me. When I was done with lunch, I drove deeper into the preserve. All around were deer. I must have seen a couple dozen by the time my lunch was over. I wonder if they're having an overpopulation problem in the forest preserve, or if it's just that time of year and the deer are brave?

I was too busy to post the photo last Friday, so I'm posting it instead this Friday.

In this photo, three deer pause in their grazing while an airplane approaches to land at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.

  4. This is nice! The deer seem so peaceful, and the plane shows what our lives are usually like. A nice contrast.

  5. It must have been nice to see so many deer. They're probably stocking up on food for winter. Nice shots.
