Haven't been to Autumnfest in Woonsocket since I was a little kid . . . Now I get to bring my own little kids!

Eerie experience yesterday! Hiking with Tanya in the woods, talking about how it felt like "deep, dark woods," I suddenly stopped and said I felt like deer were nearby. I stood still and scanned the woods and . . . spotted this friend, just chilling there! I had a feeling . . . and it was true!

The red-shouldered hawks are consistently difficult to catch on camera, but I did get an osprey in flight today . . .

Stepping out my door in the morning to take my kids to the bus stop, the volume of the euphoric birdsong was very loud, so I ran it through Merlin . . . smd there are a LOT of different species in my neighborhood . . .

I almost walked right into this young lady this morning. I came around a corner, and she was right there - I'd estimate 12-15' away. I thought she was going to walk right up to me for a moment, but then I think she sensed how startled *I* was, and that spooked her.

OK, guys, they're called "survival instincts" . . . Maybe don't follow the 6'5" predator around . . .

Saw my deer friends briefly this afternoon, but didn't get any pictures. Likewise, saw a bunch of ospreys, blue herons, and possibly a gray heron, but not many good pics. But I got a few pictures I liked today, anyway . . .

Went back out again at dusk to try to see my friends - as you can see, I found them. I'm pretty sure I now count at least 8 distinct individuals. Also, one of them kept sneezing, and it was adorable.

Today's light Latin reading is Erasmus of Rotterdam, _De Copia_, chapter 24, "Variandi ratio per Aequipollentiam" - this is fun! Aequipollentia is really a sort of litotes, which is always fun!

Saw a friend again today - the younger male, not the eight-point elder fellow. He seemed very curious about me . . .

Over the last few days, I've been observing the deer who live in Squantum Woods near the Garden of Flags. I have identified at least 7 distinct individuals - and older male, a younger male, a juvenile male, a large female, two younger female, and a very young […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Getting set up last night for my regular 5E "Into the Borderlands" campaign session at the Fuller Creative Learning Center in East Providence. The PCs were preparing another assault on the Lonely Tower and those pesky kobolds!
