A glimpse..

I was walking down a local nature trail one morning, and it was shaping up to be a beautiful spring day. There were many people on the trail - some were running, some were rollerblading, others were cycling, and I was jealous. I hadn’t been on my bike in sometime so I decided to hurry home and get on my bike and go for a ride. As I was walking back to the car, I just happened to look to my right and caught the glimpse of a young deer hiding in the woods. I stopped, carefully laid out my tripod and captured this image. Deer have a remarkable ability to blend into the forest for protection. People were speeding by and no one had noticed the deer - except for me. If I had been on my bike I would certainly have missed this scene. I decided that I will have plenty of opportunities to ride my bike and spent the rest of my morning walking, slowly, along the rest of the trail.
