I got a relatively close look at a deer today. I startled her and her startle startled me. She ran just off the trail and stopped. I stopped. I pulled out the camera, zoomed in, and got the shot above. When I proceeded she bounded uphill a few strides and stopped again. I take it she has seen plenty of hikers, is wary of us, but has learned we aren’t pulling out guns. Bambis on Tiger Mountain are safe.
I went up Section Line as per my usual conditioning hike, but extended it a bit by taking the Talus Rocks Trail to West Tiger 3 trail, and down to the Swamp and Big Tree Trails, etc., back to the E. Sunset Lot.
Plenty of nice flowers out right now:
And there is the decent view of Issaquah and Lake Sammamish (look up July 14, 1974) in the distance.
About 5.5 miles, a nice little workout.
