Under the spell of Autumn and twilight we encounter a pair of deer their delicate forms in soft shades of grey poised for flight a still life We linger, transfixed until instinct overtakes, and they flee. All we take is a memory.

A lovely picture of an autumn afternoon, your verse, and that last line especially, as graceful as the deer~
