A beautiful encounter with a newborn fawn
Tuesday, 9. June 2009, 14:13:19
Yesterday evening I was driving to the old house to plant flowers. When almost there, two female white-tailed deer stood quietly close to the road. They didn’t run away which I thought was a bit odd. I then saw movement in the grass, a tiny newborn fawn!! I slowed to a stop. The fawn was so young that it had trouble standing without wobbling. It then started walking towards the car!! As it approached it made the sweetest nasal grunting noises. I quickly grabbed my camera and took these photos.
Approaching the car.
It's legs were very wobbly.
A little nervous.
Turning away from the road and back into the field.
In the rear view mirror I watched the mother cross the road and stop to tend to the fawn. It was a beautiful encounter on a warm June evening

And yes, I believe in that sort of thing.

(And after two years I can actually look at fawn photos without thinking of certain events in Tahsis!

Half luck, half living in Canada - I've lived in parts of Canada where you can put a fawn feeder in your back yard and they catch on it's safe, you can sit on your patio and watch them eat. The dark side of this kind of wilderness living is......the bears. I've had chance encounters with little bear cubs three times.....Mama is always close by. It goes: AwwwwwwwwwwWWWW lets get the **** out of here!

You got to witness the first moments of that animals life, it really doesn't get any cooler than that!
Glad you had a camera on you.
