Woodland creatures features – Part 3, originally uploaded by Thorsten Becker.

Still at a distance, over there, close to age old oak trees thick and tall, watching, observing my every move, uncertain of my intentions, am I here to converse or to enthrall? I move closer, assuredly, calmly, respectfully. One of them, but not of their kind, I keep this in mind. Wild heart, rushing blood, all senses engaged, an emotional flood. The wind whispers through the trees, acorns fall into autumn grass, I feel an eternity pass. Tail moves, muscles twitch, eyes fixated, a sudden pitch. A nod, I stop. Fallen tree, next to me, here I will sit, I agree. I take my place, I watch and wait until with deliberate stride prince deer draws near, with every step I can feel his weight.
