The first glimpse Looey 
  had of Bowman lake was 
  this one of a fishing boat
  through the trees.  You can
  also see the trail we were
  following. 

  
   Josh delighted in walking faster than the rest of us
   so that he could hide along the rail and take pictures 
   as we caught up to him.

        Joy couldn't resist going down
        to the waters edge to see how
        cold the lake was. The path was
        a little more challenging on the
        return.  But she made it.

Richard thought this was a beautiful spot
for a picture of Linda.  Josh thought it 
was a good chase to get a picture of some
one taking a picture.  The rest of us were 
just observers.

  
        Josh liked taking pictures 
        of others taking pictures
        here he caught Linda.

Here we are exiting the trail.
If you look closely in the picture 
you can see the surprise we had waiting
for us when we returned to our cars.

  
         The deer had moved into the woods
         between the trail and the cars.
         There was a family of deer among 
         the trees.  Even with people 
         everywhere.  Here are two of them.

Hey Looey, forget the one behind the trees.
There's two in the bushes right in front of
you.  Actually all of us were spotting deer
everywhere we looked.

  
        Josh is  at it again, 
        this time he only got the hand.
        Notice the deer in the bushes.
        These are the ones right in 
        front of Looey in the above picture.

Looey couldn't resist taking this picture 
of the park ranger who came by while we 
were taking deer pictures.  The ranger said
the deer were so used to people they had lost
their fear of man.
