Finally got out of the house, even the rain couldn’t keep me in… thank you big jacket and water-resistant lens bags.
I spotted the deer near the entrance of one of the parks I visited this week. Pulling to the side of the road, I dropped the window and tried to not scare him away.
Minimizing my movements by not turning off the car radio, I soon discovered he liked old Doobie Bros. ~ “… without love, where would you be right now…” ~ tapping his hoof to the music, he ran away only after the final note faded away. (I really have no idea if this was a male deer or a doe.)
The snap of the fence… that’s not snow… it’s sand. It is really that white.
In the final photo, I got a little artsy. It was a little chilly out and I kept having to clean condensation off the LCD screen. To get the foggy feel in the shot, I intentionally fogged up the lens, letting it burn off until I could get the effect I wanted.

I love your photography. It’s making me want to learn how to use my new camera better… I’m still just faking my way along. How awesome with the foggy thing for the last photo. Glad the weather sorta cooperated for you!
That sand looks like the fine powdery snow that has buried my world. You should come up here for a visit and take pictures of the real thing, lol. Very cool pictures =)
Tara.. First.. LOVE the new place.. love it.. thank you for sharing it with me.. and these images are beautiful. The sand drift is just spectacular to me.. bravo!!!
I totally LOVE that shroom!
Just wow. The last one is my favorite, but they are all fabulous!
Love your man made fog effect! That picture is wicked.
that sand looks like snow! these are so great for so many reasons, I love the holy leaves, the deer, wow, how did you get so close? the seagulls is my fav because I love that feeling, those moments on the beach, I miss the beach :(
Tara, those shots are absolutely stunning. My favorite is the snowbank. You are one of my favorite inspirations!
Beautiful shots as always.
such lovely shots. i love how you let it look slightly foggy, it adds to the whole feeling.
Love the shots!! :)
I love the mushroom shot!
I absolutely lve the shot of the snow…I mean, sand!! It makes you feel definitely like you’re in a winter wonderland.
I love the second shot, the black and white. And did you get a blog makeover? Looks GREAT!
There’s something I love about every. single. shot. The mushroom is my favorite, though!
The last shot it stunning!
How did you get that deer to pose for you? :) All ours do is dash away-usually into oncoming traffic! Ella Numera Dos just got home from down FLA-way, and said things were a bit chilly all week. That didn’t stop her, though, from walking on the beach and bringing her Mama back a treasure-trove of shells!
Tara, those pictures are incredible.
hon, you are SO talented. <3
Wow, these are STUNNING. The black & white with leaves, and the last shot?! INCREDIBLE. xo
I think I like the b&w with the leaves. Don’t know why, but I’m drawn to it.
