The first stop was at a great place to watch the water fowl, if it isn't foggy. I could hear them making noise but couldn't see fifty yards from the parking lot. Instead I stayed focused on the area right around the lot which was filled with spider webs and dew. The above picture is of a fencepost and spider web. I was happy to get the shot between gusts of wind to keep it in focus.
I then headed to a short trail through the woods. I had been here before and knew what to expect and where some of the other promising spots would be. I was amazed at a couple of places where the trees would disappear into the fog. These two pictures don't quite capture the claustrophobic feeling that I had throughout the morning. I was never sure exactly what was twenty yards ahead.
The woulds open up a little at the top of the hill and it was very mysterious and quite shocking. The deer also seemed to appreciate this area. I came across 8 of them lying down and grazing in this part of the trail. In all I saw 13 deer during my hike. They were quite peaceful and I was able to get to within 10 feet of one before it slowly walked off the trail.They foggy, damp, chilly pictures are nice, but I am ready for some cold and snowy shot followed by desert scenes.
