And we shall call her Persistence...





I've been watching a doe, knowing she was going to have her baby soon. My persistence paid off and this morning I managed to finally capture some photos of a fawn, Yeah!! It was so sweet and even though I knew the general area it laid down in, it still took me a few minutes to find it. I always forget how small they really are when they are newborns and this one was oh so tiny.


Last year the doe had twins, she is not tame but she knows us around here and tolerates me and the camera fairly well. She stood off in the distance snorting at me and I did Not touch the baby ( I know better than that). I tried to hurry and snap as many photos as I could in a few minutes so Mom could get back with the baby. I'm praying the Hogs and Dogs don't find it. It would be nice to be able to take photos of it throughout the summer.

Sweetness, plain and simple!

AWW, What a beautiful baby and what great pictures. I'm with you, hope the little critter survives. It's a tough world out there. I'll be looking forward to progress reports!
