Deer by Street Light

This picture was shot at a moment’s notice through the dining room window. The deer had crossed Nowell Avenue from the upper side and was crossing the top of our driveway when my Dad noticed at first what he thought was a dog, but was actually a deer. The deer paused long enough on the yard for me to grab the camera, get to the window, make one setting change, and take the picture before it headed between the houses to the neighbor’s backyard.

For unto you is born this day in the city of
David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Luke 2:11 (King James Version)

8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. 9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

Matthew 2:8-11 (King James Version)
