Fawn in labyrinth. Photo by Karen Chaussabel courtesy of the Bloedel Reserve

Karen Chaussabel took this photo of the newly installed labyrinth at the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island, WA. She said that the fawn appeared to actually be walking the path:

The labyrinth has enriched my regular visits at the Bloedel in many ways and today my experience was rather unexpected. I saw a fawn walk the labyrinth!!!!! It’s hard to put into words how beautiful and touching that was. I tried to capture this special moment and I am sending you some pictures taken from the terrace. With my gratitude for all that make this a soulful sanctuary for me.    – Karen Chaussabel
