It's not so much what I saw out there as what I've been seeing.

It's what I now know is out there.

It's not an easy thing to just explain.

So I'll start at the beginning.

Do you remember back in late June, early July?

You sent me out towards Port Rowan to catch some pictures of the wildlife in the wetlands.

Honestly, I was happy to get the call.

I've always liked that area, and I'd like to think I know it pretty well.

I meant it when I said I didn't mind spending a few days out there.

I don't think enough people really appreciate the beauty of the wetlands in Lake Erie's coastal basin, but I do.

I've been out in that area enough to know where to set up to get some decent shots.

There are some decent paths consistently used by wildlife out there, and they haven't changed much over the years.

I followed one of them down into this gorgeous area of marsh that's good for catching photos of smaller wildlife such as frogs, bugs, turtles, and even some snakes.

Every now and then, you'll even get some deer in the area.

I set up a spot nearby where I could sit undisturbed and take my pictures.

On my first day out, I got lucky and saw a small group of deer out near the edge of the water around sunset.

I remember that they had passed in front of a dead-looking tree with twisted bark and a massive burl that bulged out of its midsection.

Do you remember those shots?

I think I sent them to you either that evening or the evening after.

You should be able to see the tree I was talking about in the background.
