Roe Deer/rådjur. Värmland, Sweden (December 9, 2023).

"Violet: You ambushed me. In front of everyone.

Me: Would you have worked with me if I hadn't?

Violet: I would have gotten out of it so I didn't have to do it to begin with. Why do you want me to do this project with you anyway?

Me: Because our mountain is waiting.

Violet: What's that supposed to mean?

Me: It means maybe you never dreamed of seeing Indiana, but, in addition to the fact that we're required to do this for school, and I've volunteered - okay, ambushed - you into being my partner, here's what I think: I think I've got a map in my car that wants to be used, and I think there are places we can go that need to be seen. Maybe no one else will ever visit them and appreciate them or take the time to think they're important, but maybe even the smallest places mean something. And if not, maybe they can mean something to us."
