I'm prone to swing at mirrors
I did not get a picture of the deer I encountered this evening while walking within a ten-minute radius of my parents' house. It was roan-red, unantlered, browsing behind the hedge of a suburban lawn. I was surprised to see it; it moved quietly away through the screen of trees at the side of the house. We have had coyotes and foxes and uncountable rabbits in this area for years now, but I don't ever remember street-roaming deer.
I got a very bad picture of the little astronaut who trotted audaciously up the stairs to the sun porch once his sister had jimmied the closed but signally not locked door because I was engaged primarily in preventing him from further exploration, but he can be glimpsed looking back to his handler for instructions. She made a bolt for the forbidden territory herself while I was in the process of returning him. Both cats were successfully gathered and replaced so that my mother can keep breathing in her own home.

I find myself wishing I could cuddle a fuzzy adventurer kitty or two. Alas, no dice.

Well, as he has just leapt up onto my laptop-bearing lap, I believe he still says hi.
