Early yesterday morning I stepped out and saw a fawn along the tree line in the lower backyard. Quickly stepping back inside for the camera.

I thought that was odd because there is usually a pair grazing and playing in the open space with mom nearby. No mom, no second fawn.

As I stood silently while this one ate, maybe 100 ft from me, something caught my other eye.

That something else was the second fawn just below, maybe 10 feet from me. The hill in my backyard drops off fast.

I had time to raise the camera slightly and clicked this frame before I got it to my eye, so I didn’t have time to change focus. She ran down to join the sibling.

They stood at the woods and looked till I heard an odd sound from the woods which they ran to immediately. Bet mom was watching all the time.
