Zeno is going on and on about something or other (his wife and lover, two different people, I think) and I hear the rush of the long grass beside the path. There she is again, or he, quite close this time. Looks like a fawn to me but if so where's Mommy? Roe deer are small anyway We have seen her here several times, so I figure it must be the same animal though I wouldn't bet my life on it. Vee always catches sight of her first, from farther away, but she is not with me today The deer runs, rather leisurely I think, only for about 20 meters, still close to the wire fence, and stops. I stop too, to watch. She continues munching grass, or whatever it is she does with her head down, looking up only perfunctorily and not even in my direction. She obviously has concluded that I am not a threat. I relish the moment, the feeling of being part of her world.Read more here.
