Twilight On The Tomorrow River

I was sitting on the bank of the Tomorrow River in central Wisconsin when I made this image. It was around 8:30 pm, and I was waiting for the Hex(giant mayflies) to appear above the river. Arriving at 7:00 pm, I took my seat and didn't move. Frogs, birds, insects, etc., all started their night chorus, then this deer appeared. It was oblivious to me. I watched it for at least a half hour, then the Hex started dropping to the surface, and the fishing began. For a few hours, I was at one with nature!
