Encounters

I am spending quite a lot of time outdoor: running, hiking, walking to work, walking to school, walking around… but I realise that it is very difficult to see and pictured an animal. When we meet up suddenly with a wild creature, either we are scared that it will fight, or scared that it mightContinue reading “Encounters”
