sharing space

It was a cool this morning with a threat of rain, a good time for a walk in the woods. As I walked a loop at Maudslay State Park I shared the trail with birds and chipmunks.

It appears that my footsteps were quiet; at one point I looked up to see a deer feeding just a bit off the trail. I stood still and watched. The deer watched me too. Eventually I walked away while the deer stayed in place.
