Free to Run

Within a few minutes walk of our home there is a park that holds a variety of wildlife. On occasion we'll be treated to the sight of turkeys, pheasant, deer and an occasional coyote. We're able to walk up relatively close giving the opportunity to enjoy them without a chance of a confrontational encounter.

There is something about the grace and speed that a deer running that captures our attention and eases the stress from ones day.

For us it has become a source of enjoyment taking a leisurely walk through the park. Always looking to see what wildlife we might chance upon to snap a quick photograph such as this deer running at full stride. Through these treks, we have become keenly aware of the environment around us. It's interesting to note the daily changes of the various species of plants and animals. We've also noted that the animals take notice of us, as we stroll along keeping a watchful eye and respectable distance from each other.

Hopefully, you too have such an place where you live...it's fun, it's healthy and it's free!
