I dearly love the writing of @chris-offutt.bsky.social. But I had no idea until last year that his eye was as sharp as his pen. Overjoyed to have his photographs (and words!) in @salvationsouth.com today.

The doe is stomping to warn her fawn of potential danger--me. The stomp is also an attempt to provoke a response from me to see if I am a threat.
