Humble Gratitude

I brought this stitch out of the archives as I thought the sentiment was extremely fitting after everything that has happened in the world recently.
We still have much to be thankful for.

The other day Padma and a young fawn had a face-off. 

At first the fawn appears not to notice the cat.

The she does, and comes in for a closer look.

"Who is this creature?"

Sniffing

Padma turns a cold shoulder.

But the fawn comes closer still.

Time for a retreat!

"I wasn't the least bit scared," says Padma Patel.

    Love the photos of Padma and the deer having a face off. Padma looks to have won even though there was a tactical retreat!
