Our Yard/Forest In Mid-September (2)

Since it was warm, I made my way to the trail between our yard and the forest on our property. The trees keep the area much cooler. On my way down, I didn’t see the white-tailed doe in the forest. She got startled and snorted, which startled me, and I almost screamed. But I kept my bearings and realized that I sneaked up on her. We looked at each other. And once she felt safe, she kept eating before she disappeared into the thickest part of the forest. That was interesting. This could have turned out completely differently. Thank goodness, she was far enough away and decided not to approach me. *phew*
