Tense Moment

New route for a walk tonight. Spotted these three ducks in a yard on the other side of the highway. As I watch, they decide to cross the highway (I'm assuming to get back to their yard where their chicken friends were hanging out, the chickens having not "crossed the road"). The three head out into the highway, and in the not too far distance I can hear a semi truck coming down the highway. Would it slow down? Would they make it? He did and they did. (Thanks to the kind-hearted truck driver.)

I had to post this photo because it just made me laugh. I was driving home after my walk and saw the deer at the edge of the woods. I didn't want to get out of the car because I thought the deer would move. I also was unable to find a place without grass on the roadside. So with the auto focus on, the grass is quite "in focus". Can you see the deer?
