Worn from the humidified heat, having walked up to the Big Shoals for a look about, I had made my way to the low lying shoal below Big Shoals. Taking inventory of the camera bag, wiping condensation from my glasses and lenses, I sat and just caught it all in. Then, along the not so distant bank, this little fawn, not knowing I was sitting at waters edge, romped and ran back and forth along the bank , in seeming play. Truth is, she had probably already spotted me and was trying to make it out of the clearing, panicking that the opening she remembered was not readily found.
I had enough time to pull the D40 from the bag with the 55-200 and follow focus her for about ten frames until she bounded up into the palmettos. She would do well to stay high off the bank, for just below her, down stream a bit, lurks the eight foot alligator I see each time I come to his spot.
