Deer, oh dear...

And now some wild life.

Unlike that silly bird...

I look right...


And I look left...


Just so I can be sure the coast is clear!


Oh, how embarrassing!

And a Happy Easter to all that believe.

Maryland roadtrip...

We took a weekend trip to the Baltimore and surrounding areas of Maryland. On the way we saw a Mustang on a Yukon... ok it was a small mustang.


Then we saw a van converted into... something...


Heading into Baltimore...


I had to take a few shots in the tunnel.


We found the town of Ellicott and had a fantastic lunch. We found some small shops and antique dealers along the main road. I climbed a rock and named it my own!


Then climbed down when I realised it wasn't that stupendous. My wife took these shots.


Some of the buildings were built right over streams that run through the town.


Near a tattoo parlor we found this awesome ride.




The town is mountainous and most buildings had steep staircases up thin alleyways.


As we were leaving town my wife spotted this school.


It was not open but we were able to look around...


...and through the windows. There were wild raspberries everywhere and we helped ourselves to a few. They were a bit tart but tasty.


We went to "The Crab Shanty" and got the BEST crab cakes in Maryland.
On the way, we saw this deer getting a nosh on the side of the road. He would take a few mouthfuls then leap away. When it looked safe enough it would come back for more.




Why does youtube video look so crappy lately... when it finally uploads...?

Where there be bones...

...there be bodies. And as JD would say...

OH DEER!



It was quite creepy finding a pile of bones in front of the tunnel we were about to enter.



But even creepier were the carcasses and random body parts on the other side of that tunnel.



We thought they may have been hit by a car then scurried off to die in the field... only to be eaten by wild dogs or other animals like racoons and possum.



Or did we traipse upon an alien hunting ground where trophies had been taken and the rest left behind? Probably the former...
