Hunter's mirage

We are in Walla Walla visiting the elderly friends we helped move up here last summer. We had planned on an early departure from home, to have plenty of time along the journey in the gorgeous Gorge. That plan was slightly derailed - due to me. The sun  was rising, mist was wafting about the fields. Then this buck and a doe came cavorting around. Forget the previous plans, there are blips to be had!
