4:45 AM Deer Rescue

I was making eggs for Jim at 4:30 AM or so in the morning, while he went to the front door to see if our cat Spike wanted to come in. He then called for me to get my camera, as a deer was caught in the basketball court across the street.

I got my digital camera and went across the street, and sure enough a panicked deer was jumping repeatedly at the wire fence trying to get out of the public basketball court.

It was jumping at the fence at the opposite end from the open door. So I stayed halfway up the court near the fence while Jim went to the far end of the court so the deer would run towards the open door. I took several pictures, but with the limitations of a digital camera, only one had a legible image of the deer.

With Jim at the far end of the court, the deer circled around to put the maximum distance from Jim and myself, and circled around to the open door and went through it and bounded off to the woods.

Jim came back in, ate his eggs and headed off to his charter down at Westview Marina, with an interesting story to tell his charter customer!
