wonderful photo

I had to clear my head today. Received a couple of (work related) emails that made me blow my top. I was so stark raving mad that I just had to let of steam and (rather than smashing something) what better way to do that than to go for a walk. I didn't go far; (I still have a fever from an infection I caught) just a stroll through our stamp-sized forest.
Although it was cloudy and therefore dark in the forest, I still took the camera; force of habit.
So here I was, still fuming, hands deep in my pockets, stamping through the forest. I just entered 'Birch Lane' as we call it (ok, ok, we are no strangers to a bit of megalomania :-)) when all of a sudden I heard twigs snapping. so I froze on the spot and went down on one knee and waited.
3 Roe deer stepped out of the forest onto the open space at the end of the 'lane' and started playing.. Wonderful to watch. As they don't see you very well when you don't move, I stayed put and snapped away. And then.. the sun broke through the clouds, showering the open space with light, setting the whole scene off magically.

Sometimes the smallest things can make you happy again and forget what was bothering you. I my case today, it were 2 things; seeing the deer and that one ray of sunlight..

This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

Saul Bassana (Bewildered, but not bothered) says:

There are far worse things in life than receiving a couple of annoying e-mails Hennie believe me...just ask my wife! Meanwhile, a walk on the wild side is always good for zapping the anger gremlins and it looks as though you got really lucky as well and then had the presence of mind to take this really beautiful photograph!

I'm like you, in that I'm never without a camera of some sort....partly because my job requires it, but also because you just never know what's going to turn up next....like the Spitfire that flew right over my garden once. I heard it coming and had my camera and managed to squeeze off a few shots as it flew over no more than a hundred metres above me en route to the Fairford Air Tattoo about thirty miles away!
