Game on

I took pictures at my first high school football game of the year tonight. It was muggy at game time, but a non-volatile cold front moved through, and the temp dropped significantly.
Tomorrow I'll post the photos to www.dorahighschool.com. I take as many of the cheerleaders, the band and the crowd as I do the players in the game.
I love to watch young kids in the stands get swept up in the sights, sounds and smells of a high school football game.
I left early because I have a long day tomorrow.
On the way home, a young deer freaked in my headlights and instead of running away,she darted in front of the truck.
Fortunately it happens often enough that I was prepared, and braked to let her scoot into the underbrush.
It was too dark and it happened too fast to get a photo, but I had a photograph I shot a few days ago of a young deer feeding on the corn we leave each afternoon under our apple tree.
Have a great weekend, and if you're a college football fan, I hope your team wins....unless of course you are a Texas A&M fan :)

  1. My brother and his wife both hit deer within a week of each other in NJ. Major damage. It happens. Football is here. Enjoy the season.

  3. With temps here in the 40's I'm sure game night was chilly! Jack wanted to go but went camping with the scouts instead. I'm guessing it was pretty chilly last night and this morning too! Goodbye Summer!

  4. I hit a deer once. Actually, though, the deer hit me. I was miserable. I felt so awful for the deer that I didn't care my car was a mess.

    Love,
    Janie

  5. I am glad you were able to stop in time for the deer... that was great for both of you... I would love to see a deer close up but I live in the city:)
