An unexpected wildlife encounter always invigorates my spirit. On two recent morning walks I have had the pleasure of meeting up with deer. One early morning, this trophy buck watched me pass by and was kind enough to look up and pose for a picture (taken with my iPhone). Click on the photo to see a larger image.
I met this doe twice on the same walk in Morgan Hill. First, I passed within a few feet of her feasting in a yard on West Dunne. We were both startled and she scurried off up a hill. Forty minutes later I crossed over the same hill from the opposite direction and there she was. This time she stopped long enough for a photo. I saw her again the next week near the same area with her very small fawn, and
even though both stopped to look at me, they were too far away for a
clear picture.
These encounters are gifts that are always appreciated
(unlike when they eat the flowers right out of my front garden).
