On my way to work this morning I was behind a car which slammed on it's brakes. Just before the driver hit the brake lights, I saw a shadow to my right. I waited a few seconds to see why the car slowed down and then saw a deer bound across the road. It was quite tall (5 feet) as far as Markham deer go (?) and I've now seen a few along this stretch of road (Elgin Mills between Kennedy and Woodbine).
Although driving down this road feels like you are in cottage country, it's only seconds away from the subdivisions which are slowing making their way north, devouring everything in their path. I wonder how deer can live so close to the city before I realize how close the city has come to the country.
It's a "wow, that was cool!" moment.
