Roadside Beauty

A few days ago I was driving through my neighborhood on a road with a wooded park on one side and homes on the other.  Wildlife can often be spotted in this area so I usually drive carefully on this road - not only do I want to avoid hitting an animal, but drivers often stop quickly on this stretch of road.

I noticed a car pulled to the side of the road and the driver with his phone out was snapping photos of a flock of wild turkeys as they crossed the road.  I didn't have enough time to stop and take my own pictures - minutes, just minutes too late!

As I drove past this scene, I came upon a family of deer feeding along the edge of the road. I braked quickly, pulled to the side of the road, and grabbed my phone.  The deer where moving at a casual pace, but I managed to snap a few pictures of this mother and baby deer.

I used the basic camera app on my phone to take the picture and then the Snapseed App to adjust contract and adjust brightness - I also added tilt-shift because I like that "is that real" effect that it can give to an image.
