And Deer are such dears, as well

All of The Wild are precious to us.

Some are more deer than others.

Clever way I did that. Did you notice?

Either a pun or a misspelling, depending how gracious you are to me.

Or how much of a yutz you think I am.

We’ve been graced by Deer as of late.

And it’s always joyous when they join us.

 

Erasmus is such a dear

We last encountered Erasmus about two months back (posting time).

We know Coyote been around. There signs are easy to recognize, step in, or slip on.

Still shy (and rightly so), we know there’s a pack near us. We can hear them at night.

Lately we’ve heard one and their call is so mournful we worry.

But until we learn more, there’s Erasmus.

And she’s such a dear.

 

Deer Love Steely Dan

We don’t see enough of Deer.

A sad fact, that.

We know there are deer out there.

There was one beautiful fawn who we saw regularly when walking our dog. She would see us before we saw her – duh! and we’d hear a gentle movement through the woods announcing her presence.

Ever cautious, she observed us long before she deigned to accept us as part of her pleasure.

Less while ago we were blessed with a herd led by a magnificent buck.

A glory, that.

Anybody who keeps up with me knows I value The Wild and probably more than I value the company of my own species. I’m sure I’ve quote 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea‘s andThe Mysterious Island‘s Captain Nemo more than once – “I’ve never found interaction with my species satisfactory.”

Ah, but The Wild holds endless fascination for me. From the invisible-to-others movements of the smallest pieces of the universe to the Universe itself…how can one not be enthralled by the sheer glory of it.

I ask you, have you ever heard the Universe sing?

Have you ever rested a moment on Saturn’s rings, caught your breath, prepare for the next leg of your journey, and ask the stars to catch you lest you fall in an abyss of time?

Not that such would be a bad thing.

Only different.

From what most people experience in their day.

So these posts allow me to share what others can be aware of.

A first step, if you will.

Take it.

Don’t hesitate.

I’ll go with you.

We can discover what’s out there together.

Promise.
