Hide In Plain Sight by

Sept 9/09 Taken a block from home in Okotoks, AB. I did my best not to startle her and she did not budge. I slowly took 3 shots and then moved away and let her enjoy her time in the shade. Cropped version.

This what it looked like from where I was standing.

Stylized version of the larger shot

    She has such lovely eyes.. I think she liked you taking her picture.. Sweet~

  • Thanks LJ. She didn’t budge an inch while I took my 3 shots. I was glad about that as I really did not want to disturb her solitude. I really like it when they come to visit our hill.
