mule deer walking away as we approach in the road below; they turn to listen if we are danger

Daily Note

Every day, a photograph, a poem.

Walking on the usual road behind city hall, movement captures my eyes as the dog runs off ahead. We’ve bothered three mule deer who slowly step away from us, but pause in the evening light to see what we are and listen with their large ears for danger.

Fortunately, our new dog is as leery of the deer as the deer are of him; he never chases them. Turkeys, on the other hand, get a slight run from him.

Poetry

They Hear Us

Mule deer step away,
turning back, looking, all ears
listening, “Danger?”
