We have deer at the university campus where I teach. They are such beautiful creatures. Sometimes all traffic stops completely for drivers to watch them.
This was a sweet moment – we were walking in the woods right near my house and there they were. We stopped to look at them and they stopped to look at us and then we all sort of went about our business. : )
