Oh deer!

We went to the Parc Oméga in Montebello, Quebec today as part of our long weekend celebration. It was so nice. We were able to drive through the park at our own leisure and it was so sweet. The best part, though, was that we were allowed to feed the animals. We bought a bag of carrots at the gift shop and set our for some adventure. I guess the animals are very used to cars passing by and getting fed because they come right up to your car and if you have your window open they will stick their heads right in looking for the carrots. I learned this a little to up close and personally. Perpetually living my life behind the lens, I was focusing on trying to get a great, close up picture of the big deer as it approached the truck looking for carrots. I was watching him through the LCD display on the back of my camera, totally oblivious as to just how close he was getting. I swear digital cameras should come with one of those warnings like side view mirrors. "Objects may be closer than they appear." When I finally looked up from the camera I was so surprised and frightened by the huge deer head inches from my own that I let out a very girly scream, so loud that the guy in the van next to us started laughing at me. Let's just say I kept my window near closed the rest of the day, opening it only an inch or so at a time to toss out a carrot.
