Spring has sprung. And the leaves are green. And there’s a deer in my back yard!
It’s there in the distance in the photo above, just to the left of center, curled up on the lawn. From my office window, I couldn’t tell whether it was juvenile or adult, male or female, so I zoomed in with my camera a bit.
Ah ha, spots! It’s a young one for sure. What a cutie, eh? I had my camera at max zoom for the photo below, and I was standing inside the glass window of my office, so this youngster isn’t quite in focus, but she’s sure cute isn’t she?
Hey! I can hear your camera whirring! Who’s taking pictures of me without my permission?!
Guess I better clean myself up for photos. And a nice, big stretch feels so good.
Gotta tidy up this one spot.
I still haven’t figured out how to get back down on the ground gracefully. I still just sort of plop down … ugh.
But I’m very cute, especially with my ears positioned perfectly, one forward and one back. My momma taught me that trick. She said that’s so I can listen for danger from all directions, but I know it’s actually so I look really good in photos.
I watched this fawn from my office window for quite some time. I thought maybe momma would appear, but she didn’t, at least not while I was watching.
A few hours later, I looked out the window and the fawn was gone. I wished her well and hoped she would be safe … and come back soon.
Here’s my favorite photo of her from this afternoon’s photo shoot:
Isn’t she elegant?
