Oh, Deer! - a nature encounter





















As my husband and I made our way with our dog, Hailey, we stumbled upon several deer grazing on the newly grown spring grasses. I inched closer, praying that I wouldn't scare them away. As a dog-walker approached from the opposite direction, four deer stop and shoot a frozen glare. Their stillness nearly allowed them to disappear into the trees without being noticed. With the 'photo-op' over, we continued biking, Hailey now very anxious after being taunted by the young deer.
