I was shaking after this close call. I was driving on the road that goes into mine when out of nowhere a pickup appeared in the opposite direction. The only way I avoided an head on collision was by immediately hugging the bank. It was only by inches I avoided an accident. Not only was that driver going too fast but was at least three feet over the center line. I could have been killed. Sometimes your life could change in a split second. It was a reality check.

It happened in a blink of an eye. I was not thinking. And driving probably a little too fast on that stretch of road nearby. A deer darted in front of me from my left. I reacted instinctively and stepped on the brakes just enough to miss it by inches.
It was a stretch of the road I am usually more cautious on. Deer cross the road to drink from the small creek below. I have often flushed deer here but I was preoccupied. It was the also the middle of the day.
After that close call I was shaking. You bet I drove slower and more carefully on the way home. Your life can change in a split second. Sometimes we forget that. Angels are often watching over us.
