I have been entranced by this event all day. The fawn is still in her spot (calling it a her), poking her head up, licking herself — you know, fawn stuff.
As I have been sitting on my porch, camera at my side, there isn’t much that I’ve missed. I believe this is a once in a lifetime experience and I’m going to cherish it. I am far enough away so not to disturb her, but she doesn’t seem anxious about outside activity.
I looked up from my book, and noticed activity. Beatrice (I named her) was getting up! False start to my camera and I was ready. It was only a momentary motion, but she seemed to want to stretch her legs and change positions, within the same spot. Fairly rickety, but she’ll get the hang of it.
The cuteness continues! And by the way, I have no doubt the mother will return. I’ll be watching from inside come dusk.
