Communicating with deer
Published by
Ran this morning on Bridal Veil Falls trail with Jax. We are back to warm and sun after the clouds and freeze of yesterday. Early on the trail we disturbed 2 mule deer that initially bounced away to a position where they could stand and watch as we ran by. These deer have huge eyes and ears and were looking at us like we were slightly crazy - I have to be honest that is only my interpretation. I bet it's closer to the truth to say they were slightly scared but also playful. As we drew level with them they both bounced off i different directions. When I say bounced, these deer can jump huge distances and heights using all 4 legs at once - it's just like watching a gazelle in a Nat Geo documentary - awesome and gave me renewed strength as I climbed the trail after meeting them. We are so fortunate to live here and to be healthy and fit so that we can enjoy the beauty around us.
