i saw a Buck!

on my run this morning i saw a deer. he crossed the fire road and stopped, turned around and ran back. i thought about it for a while..... that was a big deer. where were all her friends? was it a buck? i should have noticed the rack. i waited and watched and i caught the top of his head moving through the brush and sure enough there were 2 to 3 forkies. a very pleasant treat for my morning workout! i hope that everyone is enjoying the change of season.

and Good Luck to my friend Lisa who is riding the 508 this weekend! she is going for the Death Valley Cup. read more here. and also to my friend Brad who is running his 11th St. George Marathon. way to go BA! good luck to you both!

"Two to three forkies?"

What the...?!?!

I just love the way you describe things.

And thank you ever so much for the well wishes for Saturday. In fact, I think I'll call and thank you in person.

With only two to three "forkies", it was a pretty young buck. Where I live the deer are so used to people, I can run less than eight feet away from them. They do not run; they just stare at me. City deer!
