In Southeast Alaska where I live, the landscape is overwhelming in size and scale. Endless vistas of mountains, forests, water and clouds. Yesterday, while watching a whale (another enormous creature in every respect) while it was feeding offshore, I was given the more intimate experience of seeing a fawn on the beach. It was crouched motionless in the rocks. Its mother had been startled by some people walking the beach and had run off. The fawn instinctively froze,waiting for its mother to return for it. What a gift to be close, even for a few moments, to such a beautiful, wild creature, in such a place and in such a setting!
