Wildlife

I often say that I live out in the "sticks", what I really mean is that I live 20 minutes from the nearest grocery store or fast food joint.  While, we are technically surrounded by wilderness, we also happen to live in a gated lake community.  So it is normal for us to find turtles, cranes, snakes,ducks, geese, raccoons, even armadillos on our property.  But this morning, I saw something that shocked me.  At the bottom of our driveway stood this....(this pic is after I grabbed my camera, and he/she had already made a run for it toward the back yard, only to have met with our beastly dog Bruno, so it quickly turned around)

I was trying to get my boys to come around and chase it out of the yard, but they were thinking CAPTURE not release, so it was not going so well.  The poor little booger kept running into the fence trying to escape, it broke my heart.  But not enough to keep me from snapping away with my camera. 

Finally, it found freedom.  My boys were crushed that Bambi, was not going to find a permanent home with us.  I was just glad it didn't go postal on us, and attack me.  That would have been some picture though.
