Expedition

This time the target was in a corn field adjacent to what looked like a country club. The wife suggested that walking along the property line might be easier than trudging through the corn. We saw no signs or people to tell us we didn't belong there, so we forged ahead. Along the way we saw a deer, but I was too slow with the camera to take its picture.
