Snow run

What a beautiful morning...I just had a great run in the snow. I live near a park, and over the years I have come to know every detail as I run around it all the time. I really believe that I can tell when things are out of place...detect people, animals, limbs down, etc. This morning it was snowing, still dark out, but the snow brightened everything. I felt like I was running through a Robert Frost poem.

As I rounded into a curve that cuts along a tree line I stopped, abruptly, as in the distance on my path was a large object, or group of objects out of place. The 4 deer stopped also and looked my way, heads high and ears up. We all just stood there and stared at one another for a moment in total quiet snow fall. It was cool.

They sprang away after a minute the way deer do, and I ran my 5 miles.
