I surprised a small herd of deer at the bottom of the foot path that connects Pink Street to Memorial Lane. This is a pretty suburban spot, as far as our island goes. For a minute, two of the deer that stood their ground held me in their gaze as I beheld them. It was dark, a little foggy, and they lingered in the shadowy gray gloom like aliens, uncertain about my intent. When I finally scooched down, the nearer of the two snorted and instantly both took flight.
