Three deer

Three deer make their way through a borrow pit earlier this summer along the levee near Eagle Lake. It helps to click on the photo to make it larger for viewing.

Deer in the Park

Sometimes I think I spend more time in the Vicksburg National Military Park than some of the rangers do. But it is one of the most picturesque places to be. I enjoy the deer that make the park home. It's hard to get them in front of a park icon, such as a cannon, but my patience is rewarded every once in a while. I am spending lots of time in the park as 2009 begins looking for the one that got away. That's him in the last picture. I came around a curve and was able to get this one shot before he scampered away.
