Then, it was off to Jackson for pizza and groceries. Having Jackson close by has made this summer easy as far as entertainment and re-supplying. We were going to go up the tram at Teton Village, but the weather turned gray; we decided to scrap that.
We stopped to take some photos of the fall colors along the way - they have really turned in the past week. It is a treat to see those before we leave.
When we got home, I took Izzy for a walk. While strolling through the forest, we came upon a young mule deer. It was laying down. I didn't see it until we were about 15 feet from it, so I didn't make any sudden moves. Izzy didn't see it until it decided to stand up. I wish I had the camera with me... Izzy's eyes got wide and she let out a low growl. I wasn't sure if she was frightened or was crouching into attack mode. And then something I hadn't seen before: the hair on her back stood up... it looked like she had a mohawk! She was ready to take on this HUGE forest creature! I held her leash tight.
The 3 of us stood and watched each other for quite a while. Then, I slowly backed off... Izzy wasn't quite ready to give up. I had to pick her up. As we walked back to the 5th wheel, she kept looking over her shoulder and crouching. Jungle cat.
