Hidden Deer

Hidden Deer

The wind barely has enough life in it to gently rustle the brush, but that’s OK. It has been a long day, and the afternoon grows late, meaning it is almost time for the wind to be done for the day. It is still wintertime, too, and although the sun is providing a most wonderful afternoon, the night will be cold, and one is best bundled up. That, of course, includes the wind. With a last half-hearted gesture, the wind puffed once, and then packed it in for the evening.

The sun wasn’t ready to give up the day just yet, though, and continued its slow journey to the horizon, bringing the most wonderful hues of gold everywhere.

The sun wasn’t the only one out enjoying the afternoon, either. This hidden deer was quite at peace in the golden field; she was still as all can be, not moving an inch, but yet… there was this complete sense of serenity. She was well hidden, and knew it, and was safe, comfortable and very much enjoying the last of the day.

With a gentle click the camera’s shutter closed, and the hidden deer was left to enjoy the rest of her golden afternoon.

Peak-A-Boo Deer

As a small child, there are many games we love to play. Perhaps, though, one of the more popular ones is the venerable game of “Peak-A-Boo.” You know, the one where you hide your face in your hands, then reveal your face yelling “PEAK-A-BOO” in an overly loud voice, scaring the child in question, drawing puzzling looks from everyone around you, and summoning the authorities all in one fell swoop?

Er, anyway. The point is that you hide behind something which clearly doesn’t hide you, on the assumption that the child doesn’t figure it out.

As best as I can figure, this deer knows Peak-A-Boo, too, because clearly, hiding behind that small branch really, really didn’t work out too well for the deer. On the other hand, it worked out for me really well.

Peak-A-Boo! (But I said it in a really quiet voice)
