Concealment

365 Caws, Year Two, Day 201 (bonus edition): Three deer were browsing in Longmire Meadow as I walked around the Trail of the Shadows this afternoon, their brown colors dark against the yellow of grass and mineral-stained earth. To a predator lacking color vision, they could have been nothing more than heavy shadows thrown by trees. They moved slowly and with irregular hesitation, an instinctive camouflage of motion concealing any hint of purpose or path. The survival of their species has been dependent on factors which render them almost invisible in their environment as is demonstrated here in this black-and-white rendering.
