#ForestFriday

I'll probably wander the desert aimlessly for a while. A Mule Deer fawn wonders what the fuck I'm blathering on about, in black and white. See ya when I see ya! Peace.

Right back where I was at.

When Covid hit I was at a big corporation, and I was furloughed, given a severance eventually.

I hired on at a family-owned business, but sales are down 65% this year. Today is full circle. Furloughed and offered a buyout.

So I'm taking a hiatus. Here's a deer. Peace!✌️😶‍🌫️

Only Way Out.

Our path meanders through the Ponderosa Pines under this mountain peak and clear blue skies...

...until I spy Mule Deer resting in the shade of one tree, and manage to get three of them to look at me at once. The fourth one is just showing some butt, and the fawn is super shady. Nobody's perfect.

I spied the nervous one higher up the hill and that look means 'that's far enough bud" so rather than send her bouncing off through the woods, we moved down the valley...

...where I spied another doe, backlit this time, in the green grass under some huge Ponderosas, and she was looking real sweet. Thanks for checking it out!

There she is, the backlit diva Mule Deer looking back at me after I stepped around that tree filling half the frame...peek-a-boo!

My deer eye candy is rarely fatal...🫶

Four monochrome Mule Deer in frame, three together in the shade of a tree watching a fourth come down the mountain to join the party.

its own ears to hear things
the mind does not understand.

The moment the 'backlit diva' Mule Deer doe locks eyes and ears on me...a little moment of Zen.

An animal's eyes have the power
to speak a great language.

Another look back in portrait from the Mule Deer buck I named Poker Face, with one huge ear sunlit and the other shaded, as he climbs up the forested hillside filling out the frame...which kinda has a little hidden yin/yang vibe going on. Am I right? ;~)

One day you'll look back
and realise how hard it was,
and just how well you did.

When you convince a Mule Deer fawn standing in dappled light to turn around and smile for the camera without spooking her, you get whiskers and fuzzy ears. Zen.

What you seek
is seeking you.

"The Mountain" is what I call Aspen Peak in the Hualapai Mountains, looking very inviting this morning under wispy clouds and sunshine. We're going hiking in those trees way over yonder at the base of the mountain, looking for deer and Zen, not in any particular order...

🫠 Many of you will only look at this image for #MountainMonday...

...and will take your attention span elsewhere. ✌️😶‍🌫️

🫶 My deer peeps, however, will realize this's a whole thread of deer I met today for #MammalMonday. 🦌🌿 There's even birds. 🪶

Wanna come along?
