I set out on a cold winter afternoon to photograph the Bell bridge,the drive out was uneventful ,but as I was setting up my camera and tripod in an opening west of the bridge two deer stepped out of the woods onto the riverbank just down from my location . They weren't long running away when they sensed my presence. The sun was low enough this afternoon giving the perfect lighting to photograph this wonderful old bridge.
