Animal Butts Do Not a Nice Photo Make

It was a gorgeous Fall weekend with lots of sunshine and temperatures in the 80s. Totally my kind of weather. Around here, the leaves on the trees are starting to change colors and the colors are really brilliant this year. I wanted to see if I could get some great pictures of the brightly colored leaves, so about 5:30 yesterday evening, I grabbed my camera and my oldest child. We set off on a walk in search of great photos.

About half a mile into our walk, we spotted a deer standing by the side of the road. He stared us down for several seconds and then darted across the lane. My reflexes are so quick, so very lightening quick, that I managed to snap a photo of the deer. 

Okay. Three quarters of the deer. The, ahem, rear three quarters of the deer.

Although we spotted a limousine, two fuzzy little kittens, a dead snake, and one franticly waving friend, the rest of the walk didn't yield any spectacular photos. After strolling back home, we decided to hit up our backyard and see what was happening there.

Which meant a visit to the horses.

As usual, the horses that live in my backyard had zero interest in starring in my photos. Or in coming over and saying hello to us. To be perfectly honest, they were kinda being horse's behinds about the whole idea, if you know what I mean.

Geez. What was it with me and the animal butts yesterday? Animal butts do not a nice photo make, even with the great Fall colors in the background. Pin It Now!
