My favorite walking trail is along a wooded creek, appropriately called Dear Creek, sandwiched between populated areas.
Over the years, the deer have learned to stay clear of heavy traffic streets, thanks in part to a flock of geese that often bring traffic to a standstill.
The deer are so quiet and it's not unusual to suddenly find myself just a few feet away as we watch each other suspiciously. It's like which of us are invading the other's domain.
