fleeting

went for a wander down to the marshes.
bloody freezing.

about 5 minutes before I took this one, I saw a deer.
it walked out in the path in front of me.
5, 6 feet away at the most.
we just stared at each other for about 30 seconds.

... seemed much longer though... each of us daring the other to move first...

I went first, for my camera, of course.
it ran.

nothing left but a memory.
