Lake Springfield Deer

A note to those driving around this area. Please drive slowly.
5 mph might be an idea around here.
If you think your auto insurance costs a lot now, imagine what it would be if you add one of these fellows as a hood ornament.
Please slow down and hang up your cell phone.
Enjoy the view and pay attention to your surroundings.

It wasn't a good day for photographing birds.
This is the only one that held still for me.

I wasn't content with my wildlife photos from the other day so I went back to the lake to try again.
Above is a portrait of a Lake Springfield goose.
These three pics were taken the evening before the 4/18/08 Illinois earthquake.
