All the same.
February 12, 2010
I blink my eyes slowly as I turn my head.
The wet grass chills on my legs.
Cooling them from the hot summer sun.
I lean back on the old willow tree.
I glance up, spotting a small fawn eating grass peacefully.
Not even minding me.
I slowly and quitly grabbed my camera, which was hanging around my neck by a strap.
I flash a picture. The fawn glances up, sees me, and returns eating glass.
At that moment I relized that he didnt mind me, even though im a human and he is a small fawn.
We were different in everyway and he didn't mind me one bit.
I guess the lesson I learned that day under the willow tree was that no matter where your from or who you are we are all the same.

I thought this was okay. It is not particularly moving or thought provoking, and you really spelled out everything. (Not to mention some spelling errors:"quitly grabbed my camera") However, your imagery is great, the voice of the narrator is simple and clear, and the topic scene could really be expanded on. I think this definitely needs some editing, refining, proofreading, and maybe some expansion, but it has potential.
