Saturday Sparks Link Party 579

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 579! 

 Starting off today's party with a sweet encounter!


We were about to leave when I noticed her grazing in the field. 

I snapped a long distance shot from the doorway - she continued grazing.

I normally keep my distance when taking pictures of the wildlife here, but knowing that we had to leave and that she would run off stirred me to venture closer this one time.

I wandered out onto the driveway - she continued grazing.

I stepped into the field - she continued grazing.

I continued moving closer to her  - she continued grazing.

I was probably 10' away from her when she finally looked up and saw me.

She stood motionless, and I snapped this, my final photo before she ran off.  

This surprise encounter filled my heart with joy.

"If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere."
