Horses, cows, and barns … who doesn’t like those? I took these photos one afternoon while driving up and down various back roads in the area around this campground and around Montesano, WA. I was simply wandering and roaming and enjoying the day and seeing what there was to see. Click on photos to enlarge them. Enjoy! 🙂
Notice the birds sitting on the horses’ backs.
And then on another road I noticed this nicely mown, small field of hay above. When I stopped the truck to take a photo, I also noticed a deer right there in the middle of the photo, under the trees.
So I zoomed in with the telephoto lens to take her picture.
Ah ha! Her fawn was not far behind her.
“Wait for me, mom, I’m coming.”
Oops, I think mom spotted my truck, and I think she does not like what she sees.
“Come, Little One, we’re out of here!” Then mom trots off, expecting Little One to follow.
“Umm, well, ok, but, say this grass smells really good right here.”
Mom returns! “Little One, I said come on, we’re leaving!”
Little One is still distracted and still does not follow her!
Mom trots along, believing Little One is right behind.
Oh oh, mom discovers Little One is not behind her. “That darned kid!”
So mom returns yet again, bumps the fawn with her head, then turns and trots off.
“Oh, ok mom, I forgot, I just forgot, I’m coming now.”
I didn’t even make that up! The interaction truly did happen like that. I was chuckling out loud by the end of it. Mom and Little One trotted back into the trees where they could not be seen by any dangerous big white trucks.
And here’s one more barn below … showing its age and a bit of wear and tear, but it has obviously been well used and, certainly, much appreciated.
