A Wild Encounter!

in #nature5 years ago (edited)

Our town is surrounded by Superior National Forest. A place that #Trump has visited in recent months, as well as his creepy buddy #MikePence.

They want to open up the Boundary Waters Canoe area to more mining and drilling. Because fuck protecting the environment and conservation, right?

Living where we live, we get random surprises sometimes. The kids have seen Black Bears multiple times riding bus to school. There was a skunk in our front yard a couple of weeks ago and wolf and coyote sightings happen in town on the reguar.

And today, this little lady came up our alley. Little Willow and I got up close and personal with this gorgeous White Tail Deer doe, whom I am guessing came from the nearby woods of Lincoln Park.

She was not particularly panicked. We came around the house and there she was. Willow and I froze, she froze, we stared at each other for a while and she walked closer, increasing to a trot to get passed us, then slowing back to a walk.

I wonder if one of the people letting their dogs run loose at the park scared her off, or if she was just wandering, breeding season is upon the deer folk.

Such an enchanting encounter, we're so lucky! She headed up the hill, calmly walking up the sidewalk like it was no big thing. No worries about her guys, right up the hill is a big wooded area connecting her right back to the park. 💜

She deserves life as much as anyone else. #noline3 #waterislife #keeptrumpout #makeamericawildagain
