DEER AT DUSK

Deer at Dusk... EVENING SCENE:

A summer evening presents a quiet picture in the Kaibab as the deer wander in from the deep forest to the mountain meadows. As the sun sinks behind the tall, slender spruce trees, the mother does emerge from the shadows to the edge of the grass land and begin browsing, moving farther out onto the meadow. The fawns follow after the does indicate safety oftheir presence. This is the scene on the VT meadow in the lingering moments before sunset. If one will sit quietly and watch, the field will suddenly become alive, while the does graze silently, and fawns play tag among themselves. As the shadows lengthen, it is difficult to distinguish the light buckskin coats from the gold of the grass, as they continue their feeding.

One of Arizona's delightful trips is from Jacob Lake to the North Rim, on Highway 67, when evening shadows are long.

THE KΑΙΒΑΒ

Night is a fascinating time, with the last rays of the sun vanishing from the sky. When night drops her final curtain with evening stars sprinkled in the blackness, and the air grows chilly, the deer retreat to their shelter in the forest, into the protection of its great depths, away from the eyes of onlookers, until the next evening when they again come to graze in the meadow as evening shadows draw to a close.Then herds of deer come out of the deeper forest to browse in the green meadows along the road, and watch the traffic.
