Passing Through

A small herd of deer came through the 

yard the other night. 

After a little while they moved onto the west across the road.

From there they had a few fences to cross to continue on 

through the evening to a place they probably frequent quite often.

They jumped the fence or at least part of them jumped the fence.

But four of them remained until 

a car came and started honking it's horn.

Not good enough just to slow down and wait for them.

I guess we must live in a very busy world.

This scared them and they

could not go fast enough for the 

car that was still honking the horn.

One of the little ones then tried to jump and 

caught his leg between the wires.

I was afraid that I would have to go over to help it out.

 but his leg came free and he continued on.

Another one crossed, I think the mom in the group

but that left two still on this side.

One had an injured back leg but finally moved

to where it was able to jump a lower section of fence.

 That left this little fellow still having to deal with the 

stupid driver that was still honking it's cars horn.

He tried to jump but fell backwards onto

it's back onto the ground.

 I was afraid it might be hurt but it got up and by now the 

person in the car had finally decided to go on past.

 The little fellow didn't give up and it literally climbed

the other fence until it was able to cross over.

It left a small tuft of hide and hair on the fence however.
