“And did you feel it, in your heart, how it pertained to everything?
And have you too finally figured out what beauty is for?
And have you changed your life?”
-Mary Oliver, The Swan

Henry seems to look right at me and doesn’t mind, but for every slight noise, he is on alert.

This is Henry. Henry loves peanuts! While he’s on alert for danger, he considers anyone in the house an ally and waits patiently to be fed. He may have been one of the fawns his mother raised eating at my table. We just love him! #deer #mammals #wildlife #nature #photography #NewJersey
