Dogs and Deer.

Along Skyline Drive, Shenandoah National Park.

Don't worry, this dog's family was nearby, just across the stone wall.


Many people take their dogs up there. Dogs should be on a leash not longer than six feet in length. This helps keep pets and wildlife safe.


Saturday's Critters.
After squirrels, the most commonly seen wildlife in the park is deer. I can usually find a few in the hour before sunset.

Do you suppose the small deer wants to use the telephone? Perhaps he wants to call his mother!

Yes, the park still has public telephones. Cell phone signals are not reliable in the mountains, although the park service advises that you can often get a signal at west-facing overlooks.

Caturday Pet Art: Here's a pup I saw in a car. The image was dimmed by tinted glass so I cleared it up a little and then added clouds and some filters in Photoshop. I'm still learning this stuff!

  2. Beautiful wild deer...though living in a park, they are accustomed to being around people.

  8. Very nice animal portraits and the deer looking for the phone sure made me smile! It was also interesting to think about the need for phone booths in the park...makes sense for sure. I’d thought that were about extinct.
