Hello, Bambi

There's this beautiful spot that's just across the street from the campus. It's literally a forest that's just there and when you go deeper in, there's a creek. It's just such a gorgeous spot, and it's totally isolated from the street and from campus and campus police. With that said, obviously, this is where everyone goes to smoke their "Haha" (lol). We call this spot the Creek.

Well, yesterday me and my friends decided "creek it" and there's this dirt passageway with weeds everywhere. Anyway, when you look out there's like this huge pasture of grass. It's just like a huge open field in the middle of the forest. It's really a beautiful thing to see, I'm really actually enjoying this nature stuff nowadays. So, when we were passing by yesterday, what do I see prancing around? DEERS! Like two of them!

I mean, I've seen deers before. I've seen a bunch of them. But they were mostly when I took tours to national parks or something. Like this summer, I went to the Yellowstone National Park and I was basically face to face with a deer. But still, it's a national park AND we were on a tour so it really didn't feel as natural to see deer just lying around. Now, I see them when I'm just walking around, going over to the creek, and they're so close. I find it truly amazing and exciting.

I'm a city girl, so obviously I don't see this in the city. There are not enough trees and grass in the city to tend to families of deer. My friends kept making fun of me because I just kept pointing them out. They just don't understand how I felt seeing actual nature, it was just so organic. I was just so amazed, and was literally in a trance. I would have stood there watching them for hours if I could.

Nature is so pretty. :)
...besides the gross muddy puddles in the middle of the passageway. The ones I accidentally stepped in. Ugh.
