This picture, while not being notable for its composition or clarity, deserves its place here because it was taken from our kitchen window.  On the morning of May 9, 2001, Michael was planning to get to bed early so we could go to the zoo that afternoon.  We were on vacation as usual during the first week of May, but Michael still kept his night hours to do some work on (at that time we were still filling the basement back up after some renovations) and in the studio.  He was just about to turn in when Cathi yelled "There's deer!!" Michael asked "Where?" and turned toward the closest TV that was on, thinking that she meant on a television show.  "No, outside !!"  Michael got his camera as quickly as possible and got off a few shots, but it was a bit gloomy that morning and the deer were dashing about trying to find cover or a way back from where they came.  There were five in all and all were fairly young.  One had gotten injured in the commotion and was put down (probably unnecessarily) by the local police.  Eventually, the others made their way across the street and, presumably, back to the Farm Park.
