Welcome to another edition of Photo Friday.

RURAL
This one gave me pause, as I gravitate more to the urban and suburban. A deer in a field surely qualifies as rural, yes? We were enchanted by this little fawn spotted in the brush, next to the Thousand Islands Parkway:

Are you urban, suburban or rural?
Do you see much wildlife where you live?
Looking forward to your comments!

Wow! That’s an awesome photo! Great job.
Wonderful picture! I will catch your BOTB on DEc 1!
I guess I’d have to say I’m rural. I love seeing wild-life encroaching on civilization; but don’t like to be in the center of all that urban sprawl. Hate the cities, and avoid them. I do like the electronics and convenience of civilization though, lol.
that is a beautiful picture.
Lovely snap, Debbie. Looks like, the fawn is modelling for you to photoshoot it.
Beautiful shot, Debbie. Love how the fawn stands out against the green. How special!
This is a perfect shot! He (or she) looks like he is posing just for you. I think of totem animals when I see something like this. the native teachings states that The deer represents gentleness-To be gentle with yourself. Isn;t that nice?
Such a lovely picture. You were lucky to spot this 🙂
Oh, wow! I haven’t seen one of these in ages! How lucky you are to have them around… I’m rural, I think… Urban works well for a few days, and suburban I couldn’t survive if I tried (or if someone paid me to try, haha). I love falling asleep to an orchestra of crickets (or, here in Curaçao, of tree frogs), I love the sound of parrots coming in to attack my kenepa tree (kenepa is a kind of fruit, smallish and green on the outside, orange inside, a bit tangy), I love spotting iguanas sunning themselves at the side of the road… There’s not much wildlife here, compared to other ‘rural’ places, but I do enjoy what little there is 🙂 Great photo, Debbie!
Hi, Guilie; We don’t have them around here either. This photo was taken during our last road trip. I could handle rural for about a week, max. LOL Too used to have everything I need right here in suburbia 😉 Plus, it’s close enough to the big city to go there anytime, but doesn’t have as much grime, noise and crime. Crickets are a soothing sound of summer, here. Haven’t seen any tree frogs, but I think they probably avoid urban areas. How cool to have parrots flying around! Kenepa I’m not familiar with. Google gave me this link if anyone else is curious: http://wiwords.com/word/kenepa
Thanks for dropping in. Have a good weekend. 🙂
We are rural, and even see the deer in our yard every now and then, sad fact though, too. My sons have both been involved in 4 different accidents involving deer. They both drive for a living and at night. Thank goodness they were both safe, the deer sadly were not. We also have a few critters that call our back yard home, rabbits, squirrels, skunks and a ground hog. The skunk, I could live without, he likes spraying his perfume as he walks down to the road to flirt with the ladies. 🙂
Deer in the yard would be something I’d love to experience, but yes, I can imagine the road accidents are pretty bad. Those poor critters don’t have any traffic sense. 🙁 We have squirrels and chipmunks in the yard and the odd raccoon comes by as well. Skunks are around, but thankfully, not while the dogs are outside.
Beautiful fawn! I’d say that definitely qualifies as rural. 🙂
Oh good! I was having a hard time finding a photo for this prompt. Glad you like it. 🙂
Different facets of mother nature. . .suprprising, scaring and exhilarating us all at the same time!!!
So true, Manish. Welcome to The Den. 🙂
A beautiful photo. It’s like she’s saying… “Oh my deer/dear ( heh heh ), did you get all my spots?”
We live in a suburb, that was actually a village about 10 years ago. It’s now bursting at all seams. You name it, they have built it. Now we are suddenly living in a big modern town. That does have its advantages. We still live across a field, where we can see huge rabbits hopping all about.
Thanks. Angelika; I was happy the photo turned out well. 🙂 Our suburb is similar, but the rate of growth is getting ridiculous, now. 😛 Nice that you can still see some wildlife. We have rabbits as well, along with racoons and skunks, which are not so nice.
Nice. Not something I’d see in my neighborhood.

We don’t have any around here either. It was quite a treat to see this lovely creature, during our last road trip.
Simply beautiful! Nature can be threatening yet beautiful, like some people I suppose.
Thanks, Paul. You make a good point. 🙂
Debbie, spotting any wildlife is rural in my opinion & so cool to boot. Fabulous shot! I will have to try to join in on this hop sometime. Feel free to take a peek at my Skywatch Friday photo & I’ll see you on Sunday!
Thanks, Cathy; I will check out your Skywatch post. Looks like another good Friday photo op.
I’ll be skipping this BOTB, but will do the next one on Dec. 1. Have a good weekend. 🙂
