Early Morning Deer Encounter

 

Spotted this young fawn with its beautiful & protective mother this morning out on a walk near the property.
Only had my short zoom Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 lens mounted, so I literally had to wait until we were only about 20 feet
apart to capture this image. Lots of patience and a quiet, perhaps trusting morning gave way to a nice encounter.
Looking forward to more chance meetings on this relaxing journey in the Hill Country of Texas.

Emerson 29648 Anitique Fan - Finished

 

Finished my 2nd vintage fan. Going to donate this one to a silent auction for Gulf Oil Relief to be held by New Orleans Jazz Festival Foundation. All proceeds from this 1921 Emerson 29648 fan will be donated to support the rehabilitation of our precious Gulf wildlife impacted by this traumatic BP oil spill. It is a small part, but something dear and near to my heart as a native of Louisiana.

I hope small efforts by millions of hands can help restore, rehabilitate & prevent future disasters to our precious and invaluable ecosystems.
