Interesting video a friend of mine showed me. This sea turtle found a camera that it tried to eat, and somehow managed to record a video while swimming around.
Well, my friends internet is being extremely poopy this week, connection nazi, No TEF for you! And Thursday morning I'll be leaving for Mio (michigan) til Sunday for the biggest tubing trip ever, every year. Totally excited, but I feel I'll be going through TEF withdrawals. I'll make sure to do lots of running through the forest and take lots of pictures for my fellow deers. : ) See you sun or mon! Maybe I'll still get to play once before I leave.
They never asked for anything other than to dance and laugh. Have you ever noticed that?
They don't ask to look special or different. The only accessory they ever wear is flowers in their antlers.
They may not understand what we're saying to them, but in the end, they always smile and nod their head.
They nuzzle anyone and everyone without fear of mates, pride, or antlers.
They are not concerned with the latest gossip or news spreading around.
They love the Forest without question, and it loves them back.
And when they leave, it is bittersweet, because we may never know if they will return, or if we'll ever get to meet them again, but we enjoy their company and treasure the memories they make for us.
[=white][i]...in anything less than high spirits when in the presence of Amary. It is as though there is no need to worry about being proper.
I even "greeted" her in the form of a pelt spell.
Soon, the two of us were spelling each other like young ones, and generally being silly with the three she had previously been spending time with.
One of which I learned was a stag with soul of a bird. This was certainly interesting to hear of. Never before had there been a deer as such, or not to my knowledge at least. I have not been here as long as some others after all.
Our fun continued, consisting of more spell-casting on each other. One point of which I appeared...quite silly. I would not have tolerated this as much had it been anyone else to do so. ...though maybe I would let Triston get away with it, if I were in a good mood.
Many of the spells were given to the resident "bird-deer", who merely continued sitting for the moment. I wonder if he enjoyed our company...
During our little excursion with the spells, Amary gained her own silly look. Soon, we decided to regain our normal looks, sneezing off the cast spells.
The end result was Amary losing her mask.
I...did not find myself minding this. And I certainly will not say that aloud.
I can only call the continued events "antics", for we were all acting quite silly. Oddly face-making, spinning in circles... Even sitting on the back of the sitting "bird-deer"!
Soon enough, Amary began acting...distracted, listening for something before running off. She returned shortly after, asking me to follow, and soon I found myself greeting Kaoori and another doe, she of white fur, by the name of Noelle.
The two of us sat with them for awhile, before, again, Amary was listening for something and taking off in its direction.
Curious, I started in the direction she had gone, only to nearly run into her as she had been heading back.
I've been wanting to gift the TEF community with this blog since my joining over a week ago, especially after exploring many post's and discovering among them many writers, as well as seeing the writing events across the site. Writing a story for the Fables event the other day, I used Herne, the God of deer, provoking my need to do so even more. Then another event arose in the mix, The Fawn Storyteller. This also brought many memory's to my mind from one of my favorite authors books from years ago, David Clement-Davies. So with those few thoughts, let me ask, has anybody in this community read "The Firebringer".
Sorry to get off topic, but let me tell you a little first on how I had come about this author. Bear with me. =]
I remember my first time seeing one his books. I can't well remember the age, but I'm sure it had to be before I was in highschool. I was walking through the mall with my mother, and of course, being an avid reader, she stopped at one of the book stores. I always go through the books as well to look for interesting ones. As I searched through the many stories upon the shelves I came across a thick, white, hard cover book. Pulling it out I found only two eyes of a white wolf on the front staring back at me. Being that I loved wolves, and reading, I had to have it! Only at that time it was still a very expensive book, so this was not to happen.
But I never forgot that book, called "The Sight". In my "early years" of highschool I spent much of my time in the library during lunches, actually writing a book about wolves, as in my earlier years of writing I was into animal fantasy. On one occassion I had decided to check into this mysterious book I still longed for from years ago. Surprisingly, my library had it. I went to the isle it was located in and found it sitting neatly on the shelf once again, waiting for me to read it. As I went to grab it another book caught my eye, of the same author, "The Firebringer".
