Deer Season

The ol' Ford came out of the garage for the occasion, waiting patiently to take the mighty hunters across the prairie.


Of course, the license plate says it all about the owner...


Nonetheless, a teenage daughter joins her father sporting her designer orange.



Dad and daughter roamed the prairie of my childhood together in search of deer. Each day brought a new adventure...and wind. Nikela arose at dawn without complaining and kept pace with her father, which is a feat in itself. So many lessons and moments in the prairie hills were shared throughout the long weekend including the patient ol' Ford enduring a new driver. On the last day a beautiful little buck would have made a perfect shot, but without the correct tag, Nikela could only admire him. In the end, my hunters returned home empty handed, but very happy. A teenage girl and her father navigating their first hunt together...hopefully a memory that will never fade.

However, not far away a mighty huntress, the little Greek goddess Artemis sports her diaper and pink coat as she stealthily pursues the game.

  1. That first picture is my favorite. Looks like a wide angle lens? Love the perspective of the prairie and wide open spaces.

    And then, of course, the last picture cracks me up!
