a young girl plays at the edge of her family home. a two story white painted wooden palace with a wrap around porch. there are woods here. sometimes deer emerge at dawn and chew on the long blades of grass. she has her back turned to the palace. she is speaking to an invisible companion. she hides the bundle of pink and yellow tulips and strawberry blossoms that she plucked from the perfectly groomed garden around the front of the palace. she learned at school that somewhere in the East, the deer have powers like gods and could grant wishes.
So whimsical.
