This was taken close to where my late deer hunting friend Frog lived. Here is a link to his photo. He died several years ago, but I never go deer hunting that I don't think of him. I had a story about him in a post that is no longer in my gallery. Below are some excerpts from that post :
He was dying when he said: "I want to hunt a least one more time before I croak!" He also made homemade wine and he once made me some peach/apple wine. I must admit it had a different twang to it. He had let it age for at least two hours. It had a good bite to it and I asked him what proof was his latest concoction. He looked puzzled for a moment, leaned back and calmly said: "I'm not sure, but it tested 40 below on the Anti-Freeze testor." That was Frog.
I thought the grasses matched his beard pretty good. A possible entry for the contest.

Tick, I do remember Frog, his avie reminds me of one of Harry's old buddies who we called PJ. Just a younger version of frog. I think the exceptional light, colors, are beautiful, and the shadow play is excellent. I do think it is very contest worthy.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Tick, I've always enjoyed the stories of your deer hunting friends Bear, Frog and Pigg. To me this post (capture and narrative) is a tribute to the remarkable Frog.
A very apt entry for the 'shadows' contest as well.
If you decide that this will be your entry, I wish you Good Luck with it Owd Fella!

That's really funny about the -40 on the anti-freeze tester. I could use some of that wine about now!..your image here is gorgeous, Tick. Stunning colors, and sky....and the shadow is a knockout! I think the superb lighting had something to do with the shadow! lol. Excellent for the contest should you choose to enter it.

A nice dedication to Frog Tick. I love the anti-freeze tester story. He must have been a fun guy to know and hunt with during his lifetime. I hope he is hunting deer up there.

Life is a Constant Audition
No wonder this reminds you of your friend Tick. -40 on the anti-freeze tester! That is stronger than Polish vodka! Beautiful and colourful image with those long shadows. This will make a nice entry for the contest.

Beautiful capture to bring back such treasured memories of a very dear friend. Yes the grass does look like his beard, thanks for the link. A Fabulous entry to the current contest with all those wonderful shadows falling across field and hay bails. Good Luck

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Wonderful narrative...your friend sounds like he was quite the character...and your lovely warm capture accompanies the warm memories you have of him.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.
This image will do real nicely in the contest Tick. It is a real winner. Your story of your late friend is a real winner too.

A great narrative and tribute to a dear friend, TicK.
you picked a great place to lay in wait for the deer to emerge from the edge of the woods. Lovely warm lighting and colours in the photo.
