Deer Crossing

 

 A couple of months back I had to go to a nearby village to drop off package at a UPS pick up point. On the way back I spotted a deer looking to cross the road. After stopping and noticing it was going to cross I fumbled for my camera but by the time I got the thing the deer had crossed the road and were lost in the woods again. After carefully driving past where the deer had come out in case there were more I carried on my way realising that my dash cam had recorded the whole thing. When I got home I downloaded the clip and managed to save a few of the stills from the video. There are ten photos in this sequence and all have been cropped to show the deer.

At this point I noticed  deer poking it's head out of the roadside. you can just make it out on the left by the bend

It noses out a little further and I slow right to to see what it will do

At this point it turns to go back in the wood

I am fully stopped here and see the deer has gone but I wait a little longer to watch what happens, you can never be too sure with deer

Then I see it looking out again

This time there are a few more along with him

Then the whole herd wander out on the road

and trot across followed by a couple of stragglers

 
Then another comes bouncing along

and as I am about to pull away a last one darts across the road. That was it all over in a couple of seconds. What a beautiful sight.

    1. More self preservation than patience, I would not want to hit one if it ran in front of you. It would not only hurt or kill the animal but do untold damage to your car

  10. I would see deer everyday when I worked at a state park. Miss that much. Lots of thawing snow in your neighborhood.
