Nature Scenes

I watched the deer munch on grass, clover, and mulberry leaves. One stomped and playfully chased another away. A buck got surprised by the tree branches snapping and ran off out of sight.

It was a great performance

The next act was a short one, a rabbit eating dinner until it saw me, then quickly darting off out of sight.

More deer, then the final act: a skunk mozing on by without a car in the world. Until it noticed my clapping. Then it mozies away without much care.

All the while, the fireflies light the stage.
