On the Road……Roadkill
For some, this may be an unpleasant image. But death is all around us and today it could not be denied. I saw the dead fawn as I was returning home from my familiar Fairfax-to-Alpine Lake ride. I made a quick u-turn to return to the spot and was able to remove the small creature from the road and perform an ad hoc burial. I fashioned a cross from some branches held together with vines.
I’m reminded of the book, Apologia, by the great writer Barry Lopez.

Very nice of you to perform a burial for the cute deer. You’re such a great guy!

I almost didn’t stop, but then I felt the urge to honor its short, quiet life.
