Yesterday, I resolved to take daily walks in the woods. For almost the entire month of January, it was almost impossible, considering the ice and snow. My husband walked with me. This deer was one of the first things we saw.

I see almost everything as a sign. In spirituality, a deer is often seen as a symbol of regeneration, rebirth, longevity, and a connection to the natural world. 

The small waterfalls were active, considering all the snow that had recently melted and a couple of days of rain.
