Hi all, Yesterday I alluded to not having time to blog and gave you the opportunity to fill in the blank with what it is you think it is that has been keeping me so busy lately.

Well, I've got a link for you in the way of a hint as to what it might be.

Click on this and you'll see what I mean. Oh.. and don't forget to click on the link within that story to see all the lovely photos! I had a ton of fun at this, in fact I even switched up my 'day off' schedule so that I could cover it. It was SO worth it, and even better was the email I got from the 'boss' saying that this is exactly what we need to being doing more of. How many ways are there to say "You bet!" and "I'm THERE!"

Yeah, I've been suspiciously missing on the blog lately. Sorry about that, but _______. (Please feel free to insert your own idea of what could be keeping me away.)

I think I'm finding it a bit much to keep not one but two blogs up to date and interesting. It is a conundrum. The blog on MassLive.com is more important than ever to keep updated, but at the same time, this is my baby. My first blog. I've been blogging here for YEARS! Plus, I can get a lot more ranty and personal here than I can over there and you all know how much I love to rant!

Not to worry, I AM working on a solution. I don't have any idea what it is yet, but there's got to be one out there.

Some where.

Yes, it's more deer. There is something to be said for shooting the same thing over and over though, you certainly get to know your subject matter. While I'm sure I've still got tons to learn, like, where are all the bucks that are the daddies to these adorable little babies, I have managed to learn enough about the females and the fawns to be able to anticipate where they are headed and how they are going to get there.

Today I spotted this family of 4 adult females and 2 fawns standing at the edge of the woods on the right hand side of the road and I just knew they were going to head down the hill, across the road, leap the guardrail, and take off into the field below. So instead of heading down the side of the road that they were on, I crossed the road, hunkered down by the guardrail, and waited.

The deer didn't disappoint.

They had my favorite shooting area blocked off today to backblade the road and dig a drainage ditch. I don't know what it is about heavy equipment, but the desire to watch it work apparently crosses all species.

Sorry for the lack of updates here, it's been a crazy busy week. They are still ripping up my road, adding extra time to my travels. They've stopped delivering my mail due to the construction, which added another half an hour to my day, you know, to go down to the post office and yell at them for being such a bunch of prissy pansies, and then one by one, everyone in the house has been sick with the flu. So far I've escaped it, but I'm thinking it's only gonna be a matter of time. Add in major, drenching thunderstorms EVERY single nite just as I'm making my drive home and August is really starting to irk me.

I do have some pics still loaded on the camera card from several days ago that hopefully I'll get the chance to download and at least LOOK at shortly... Sheesh!
