That's what you get for not smelling like a d*mned hairless ape.No photo (but she would probably have let me take off my pack and get the phone out).
This morning's ride at Rockhouse. Red/White trail, north of the brook and between the two stone wall crossings. Doe standing in the middle of the trail. I slow down thinking she'll trot off. She just stares at me. I get to within about twelve feet and stop. Nope, not moving. I say, "Um, excuse me, I kinda need to go there." Nope. It was a good two solid minutes before she trotted twenty feet or so upslope trailside.
Not the first time this has happened, but the longest conversation I've had to have with one to get her to move.
Funny you should mention that - she DID sniff in my direction several times and was probably wondering, "Jeez, what the hell IS this thing?"That's what you get for not smelling like a d*mned hairless ape.
Sterling Saturday 6:45am...then he just casually stepped over the guard rail and into the woods he went.

Wife had an avid interest in dragon flies. In summer, when the kids were small, she would go out with a pocketful of tooth picks. She would rescue live damsel flies from spider webs and clean the web off with the tooth pick to the point that the damsel fly would fly off her finger.
Having a degree in earth science, years ago, she wanted the premier book on dragon flies. I got it for her on her birthday, was a whopping $350. I still have clip on plastic dragon flies around the house. She passed a couple years back.
Yesterday, being a cold snap, I left the house early to take the barrels out. There on the rear porch was a massive dragon fly looking like it was dead. After the chores, I picked it up and brought it into the house. I set it on a paper towel on the kitchen table. It started to move after a bit, wings fluttered, legs moved, body arched and I watched it for a bit. I poured my coffee and went back to the computer wondering if I would have to chase it out of the house.
An hour later the thing had ceased movement. I left it there for most of the day, hoping it would revive, but it did not. I took a couple pics and am wondering how to get this mounted and framed in remembrance of my wife.
