Baby Deer

We had one like that once, napping about 20 feet from the patio deck. Mom would drop the baby off on her way to breakfast and pick it up after supper. And would do it all over the next day.

It lasted for about a week.

My neophyte neighbor handled a fawn he found on a walk on his property.

See if you can spot Bambi. I had brushhogged around it and it never moved. It was there hours later after.

I had the same. I was in our pasture with my 3 dogs looking for a shoe. The dogs never saw the deer. I never would have if I wasn't actively looking for a horse shoe.

The misses went out to work about 2 weeks ago and found a fawn sleeping on our front porch. When she opened the door, it looked up at her with a look that said, why are you disturbing me. It then got up slowly, walked down the steps and slowly wandered away. Liz was too startled, and dealing with our dogs, to get a picture, unfortunately.

I think that sometimes we spend time trying to get a picture when we should be just enjoying the moment.

Or in her case, dealing with the dogs.

I used to play around with landscape photography while traveling out west. It started from my early caving days and doing cave photography with a caver friend. First print then slide film. It got a point where I thought the very same thing. Just enjoy the moment.

Digital photography took some of the skill out of it.

The last total eclipse had too many people trying to capture a rare occasion. I set up a time lapse showing the ground but just enjoyed the event with friends.

Like Hay Dude, every year I come upon at least one fawn in the hay while mowing and it's a treat to get stopped in time not to take them through them the crimp rolls. I've crimped a few in the past, so far not this year however. Interestingly, the crimped ones are never there when I rake. Yotes must get them. I prefer them full grown to eat myself.

Amazing how long the mothers will leave them and how long the fawns will lay still.

Mom went out with the other girls for lunch.
I was tearing down part of a barn last week and in one part of the barn they have 3 goats and 3 baby goats.
I had my drill batteries in the section the goats are sheltered. The adult goats had went to graze but I didn't see the baby goats.
I went to change batteries and the three babies were just crunched into a corner stacked on top of each other.
Just three heads and a pile of hair.

Spotted while mowing one of my fields. Note the size of the dandelion bloom...
