new pet

After walking my bike down a hill to get to this path on my way home, i saw something move out of the corner of my eye. Turned out it was this doe. Now, i've seen plenty of deer before, but this was something else. She stopped and stared at me, not scared or frozen, but curious. She walked in front of me, paused again, and watched me some more. She was probably within ten feet of me and took a good minute before she decided to go off into the woods. My phone was in my armband recording my route home, so by the time i was able to get it out and take a picture, she'd moved off a bit. She reminded me of those children's stories where one animal wants to be friends with another, but knows it's not allowed. Strange, but true.
