I saw a roe deer this morning, when leaving the drive of our house. Our house actually borders on a forest, but there's quite a busy road in between, so it's not like I see deer every day. In fact, I've never seen one so close. It was standing just a few metres inside the forest, and we stared at each other for like a minute, the cars racing by in between us.

It was magical.

Beautiful!
This sounds like a scene from a Jostein Gaarder book.

Well, thank you! I don't know that author, but I guess being compared to any published author is a compliment!

Sorry. I was reading one of his books the other day and there was a very similar scene where a boy coems across a deer in the forest.

You should check the author out. He is a Norwegian philosopher who writes very thought-provoking novels:
my favourite one (http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9781857998658/The-Solitaire-Mystery)
his most famous one (http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9781857992915/Sophies-World)
my other favourite one, for Christmas time (http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9780753808665/The-Christmas-Mystery).

He, thanks for the recommendation! I know Sophie's world by name ofcourse, but I didn't know the authors name, strangely.

How lovely!

The place where I used to live used to have a lot of deer around. It was not a fairly small city and there were lots of wooded area, especially near where I lived and near my office. The best was one weekend evening, I left the office and as I pulled out of the parking lot, I saw a family of deer just resting. It was gorgeous - they just wandered around untroubled.

I actually had a deerspotting thing on my LJ and posted a short entry every time I saw a deer on my drives home or walks around the area. It was fun :)
