Today I went bicycling and saw a deer family right next to me. They are so cool. I think they like being around people. They were peacefully going about their grazing while I was watching them. The buck was watching me also.
I actually felt like I was intruding on them a little bit by standing there with my phone pointed at them taking pictures. It seemed selfish of me. They were looking at me curiously, so I tried to explain to them what I was doing. I said “I’m taking pictures, see?” and turned the phone around to face them.
I don’t think they exactly understood about pictures, but they seemed to connect with what I was telling them. The buck kind of moved his ear in this way that acknowledged my attempt to be inclusive with them.
I feel like deer are just part of my connected family. I feel like I’m a member of their connected family.
