You're not in Oz anymore...

Perspectives are fun, sometimes. Having traveled a bit, and even for anyone who has played at a zoo, or with different creature types, you'll know what I'm talking about. The way a bird holds itself, or swims or flies, tells you a bit about what bird it is. The way your cat leaps onto window sills far too high and scares you...that's another story. No, today is about a strange sight I saw on my way home.

I was driving, as I do to get home, when I looked into the field to the right. I instantaneously identified the creature munching away at the plants in the field as a deer...had to be. Right colour, right location, right time of night....but there was something that made me take  second look, and wonder, am I where I think I am. The deer was grazing the low lying plant, in such a way that the shape of its body looked like a kangaroo. That's right. A kangaroo in  a field, near my house, Ontario. Not likely, right? Well, you have to see a kangaroo doing the crouch forward and you'll know the body shape I saw- just on the wrong critter in the wrong place.

I wish I had my camera out, or that I could have stopped for a picture without frightening it away. Instead, I hope, the picture is planted firmly in my brain.
