Lovely!

The longer I stay in the city, the more I marvel at deer when I have a chance to see them.

We have frequent deer sightings in our neighborhood. Always a thrill. When the grandkids were little, at dusk we would pile them in the car and go on “deer safaris “.

I love this beautiful piece of writing. As it turns out I’ve been watching deer recently on a broad expanse of lawn near my home. You’ve captured the feeling perfectly!

a privilege, Richard, how fortunate you were to witness this. When humans are long gone the deer will still grace/graze our meadows and forests.

Lovely to re-read this. Made me think of the deer on the tracks in the film Stand By Me.
