Two white-tailed deer stopped by in the predawn light and entranced me with a display of leaping.
First, one deer needed to greet the new day with some matutinal micturition.
They then began to leap. At first, I thought maybe they were just frolicking. Apparently not.
Possibly they were harassing the mallards. No, the ducks were of scant interest.
The leaps carried on. When I looked at the pictures, I realized they were reacting to sinking into the mud revealed at low water. A deer would get stuck in the mud, panic, and leap.
“OK, I think the time has come for us to move along the shore.”
With this nod to Lewis Carroll, obviously, you had oysters for dinner.
You captured the morning light as well as the deer perfectly. Thank you!
I loved the kiss at the end!
Lovely playfulness to catch my attention! Thanks!!
