Tamest Deer Ever...

I went walking down to the K-Work River tonight, it is a good route, and just a little longer than my walking route at home. On my way there there were three white tailed deer crossing the street. They were all young, but two were grown, and one was just a baby. It was interesting to see how the baby was the only one who even thought that I might be a problem.

One of them was only a few feet away eating, and it did not even care when I stopped to watch them. I spoke to them and the baby got spooked. It ran a few metres off and the other deer, must have been the mother, also got spooked.

Evidently being 5 metres from me instead of 3 was enough and they sat there merrily.

I made to the river and it was nice. Amazing to see how you can be just a little way away from the mini hub of Millidgeville and it gets very quiet. Down by the K-Word Yacht Club there was not a sound. Every once in a while I could hear a car on the road behind me, but in front there was nothing but silence.

It made for a nice moment of calm, and on the way back the deer made for nice companions.

I will walk again soon.
