Field Notes

Description:

I went hiking in the foothills of Colorado at dusk. Just before twilight I was joined by a small herd of mule dear. (Females and yearlings) They gently passed through the tall grass barely giving me a glance. I was thankful they felt comfortable enough to graze around me.
