oh my dog....

first time i've nearly been clattered by a deer running past me (from behind me) at breakneck speed, presumably trying to escape the chase given by my dog..... the deer appeared down a track, out of nowhere..... and for a moment, i thought it must be the dog reappearing behind me until this thing.....

shot past like a bullet from a gun...... thundering hooves.... leapt a stream and disappeared up a banking and into the woodland......

All within six foot of my shoulder......  it was TERRIFYING and took a few minutes to sink in.

anyhow.... the dog's been severely reprimanded...... so went and found another deer and it all started again......

groans!

Now.... member back when i was on about Dumfries and Galloway Libraries and their Friday writing challenge?  They've gone and made a monkey out of me...... no sooner said than they changed the bloody brief.....  it's now a load of books and you have to work the titles into a piece of writing..... so i thought i'd start my own challenge.....

Friday writing challenge #1

here's a photo..... using this photo as a prompt, please gimme a 50 word story, or a haiku... (i'd love to have them in my comments but feel free to take this away and use it for your own blog piece)

So as not to skew the process, i'll either add mine to comments later, or add one tomorrow.....
