High temps and drought are affecting all of us this summer ... especially our forest friends. Yesterday afternoon, a doe and her two fawns arrived to sip from the goldfish pond. It gave us a chance to admire the beautiful youngsters and watch their antics. Above, the bolder of the two peaks around the hummingbird feeder pole. The feeder was dry, but got filled up after the deer had time to replenish themselves and head back into the shade of the trees.
These photographs were taken from our upstairs bedroom window, quite a distance from the pair of fawns as they meandered around the pond, nibbling on greenery here and there.
If I had tried to get closer and take the photos outdoors, there wouldn't be pictures to share as Mom would undoubtedly call to her fawns and all three would take off on the run.
It's such a gift to witness such natural beauty right where we live and especially a treat to see these curious, spotted little fawns. So cute!
