“A Failed Pursuit”
Judy Royal Glenn Photography
In the distance, a man was photographing a buck in Cades Cove. My friend wanted to photograph a buck because freshly fallen snow decorated the landscape. She stopped and headed down the trail, and I followed.
The buck left his scent on a tree then disappeared over the snowy embankment. We reached the top of the hill and peered over to find him.
He stood frozen at the bottom of the hill enthralled by a doe grazing in the distance. Step by step, he approached her. She showed no interest and continued to graze.
After while, she disappeared into the woods. Before I left, I glanced and saw the buck looking for her—it was a failed pursuit.
