Fancy Meeting You Here

As Beau was dropping me off at the university today after lunch (damn, those wings were good!), he pointed over to the sidewalk and said, "Look at that." Turning, I saw a lovely mule deer doe, just standing there, not looking frightened, but not looking all that alert or aware either. I got pretty close to her before taking this shot with my camera phone. Finally she languidly turned around, and clickety-clacketed down the sidewalk toward the Forestry building, which I thought was totally appropriate.

I walked back over to Beau. "Did you get close enough for a good shot?" he asked. "Yes!" I said, "though when I got real close she turned and left."

"Yeah, I was afraid you'd spook her and she'd jump into the street and get hit by a car and get killed."

I love my husband.
