Ran this morning on Bridal Veil Falls trail with Jax.  We are back to warm and sun after the clouds and freeze of yesterday. Early on the trail we disturbed 2 mule deer that initially bounced away to a position where they could stand and watch as we ran by. These deer have huge eyes and ears and were looking at us like we were slightly crazy - I have to be honest that is only my interpretation. I bet it's closer to the truth to say they were slightly scared but also playful.  As we drew level with them they both bounced off i different directions.  When  I say bounced, these deer can jump huge distances and heights using all 4 legs at once - it's just like watching a gazelle in a Nat Geo documentary - awesome and gave me renewed strength as I climbed the trail after meeting them. We are so fortunate to live here and to be healthy and fit so that we can enjoy the beauty around us.
