there's a wild thing
in our backyard,
under a lilac bush,
sheltering from
mid-day heat,
in such cool shade
as may be found.
we fenced our lawn
to keep our small dogs
safe inside,
thinking that
wild things
might find it
easier to
walk away.
mule deer, have
a different view
of how things
might be, stepping
right over
as if it wasn't
there, and rest
freely in our
safe shade,
adding to
the beauty
nature's made
I make photos to make myself feel good; I share in hope of making you feel good. I do as much as I can in the camera, but it does not always end there.
Part of making an image in the 21st century is processing a captured image in the computer. This is like dodging and burning in the darkroom of yesterday.
I use Photoshop cc and Lightroom cc. The result is not always what I saw, maybe what I wish I saw. Sometimes, the resulting image is a creation more than a recording. Most of the time, I keep it believable and realistic.

A beautiful tribute to a beautiful wild animal, Murray! β€ All the best! Cheryl
Thank you Cheryl! It is said, “leave nothing but footprints”, I like to leave no footprints, no sign that I’ve been there at all, unless I’m actually restoring wild places to wilderness.

Thank you writing presence. I’m Canadian actually. This means I understand a little French
and so much less Spanish. I can spell things like “colour” instead of “color”.

It’s great to have a little spontaneous wild inject itself into daily life. Great photo. Thanks for sharing.
