"Something Is about to happen..." is a collage born from a poignant encounter with a dead deer near the border of my driveway and the road. As I reached out to wildlife control for assistance, I found myself immersed in a mesmerizing observation of nature's intricate play. In mere moments, a vulture emerged, stealthily approaching the lifeless deer, always vigilant and darting away at the sight of passing cars. The vulture's cautious dance, treading the fine line between opportunity and risk, left a lasting impression.
Realizing that wildlife control was unlikely to arrive and contemplating the futility of paying for removal, I took it upon myself to move the deer to the shelter of the woods in my backyard. This act granted the solitary vulture the chance to extend an invitation to its companions, transforming the scene into a feast of profound significance. Later in the day, deer gathered in my neighbor's yard, their presence seemingly conveying a sense of mourning for their fallen kin.
Through this remarkable experience, I was deeply moved by the behaviors exhibited by these creatures, drawing striking parallels to our own human existence. "Something Is about to happen..." captures this fleeting moment, inviting viewers to reflect upon the shared narratives and connections that unite all living beings, fostering a renewed appreciation for the natural world and our place within it.
