(not necessarily in that order)
I didn’t think twice about the presence of a deer as I walked to my car this morning. I mean, we see deer all. the. time.
But after I was already in the car I realized this was a mama deer, watching over her fawn. I didn’t want to start the car and immediately scare them away, so I grabbed my phone and took a few photos through the window.
After a moment I discovered that there were two mama and fawn families. Too sweet for words!
I guess I’ll never be blasé about baby fawns.
We see so many deer here at Ananda Village that you’d think it would become old hat.
But no…! Somehow I never get bored with seeing them, especially when there’s a fawn in the vicinity.
So, here’s a photo of some deer hanging out in our front yard when I got back from my morning walk.
I almost always encounter deer on my morning walks.
In this instance, the mother deer was completely indifferent to my presence, but her little fawn was too nervous to follow after her….at first.
But once he decided to go for it, he really went for it!
“Awa’ to the Hills” — performed by Derek Bell on the Mystic Harp 2 — seemed like the perfect accompaniment for this sweet moment in time.
We often get deer passing through our front “yard” in the mornings. For a number of weeks there were a few fawns in the group, one of which seemed to have a real connection with Ramesha!
The fawn would come right up to our glass front door and gaze inside, not running away even when Ramesha would come and gaze back at him. It was really quite something, which I finally caught on camera but forgot to post. So here it is. 🦌
