Hi, Folks,

This black-tailed mule deer wading at the edge of the American River was solitary, but seemed purposeful as he made his way through the shallows. The many deer who live on the Parkway are typically life-long residents. Unlike their cousins in the foothills, they “shelter in place” year-round and find no need to migrate into the Sierra in summertime. The sight of something like this, not far from home, in the midst of a metropolitan area with 2.5 million people, adds lightness to my life.

Here’s wishing you light moments and purposefulness close to home today!
