Morning Encounter


This is one of the reasons why I love hiking. In fairness, I didn't take this shot, but it was the closest thing I could find online to what I saw.

I was working my way up a rough series of hills, focused mostly on myself and trying to get my hefty frame to the top, when I heard a rustle in the grass. I looked up, and what I saw was something like this...except there were 4 of them.

We stared at each other for a while, and I slowly continued on my way. The trail ran at an oblique angle to the deer, so I guess it didn't seem very threatening. They just watched me walk by, unshaken by my presence.

To think that I almost missed it completely.

Mood: one with the universe. :)
