“That’s not a bunny Sweetheart”

So, remember my last post, Misty Morning? Well, the first shot of that setting had a little something extra in it. I thought it was a bunny and I actually posted the second shot in the series without thinking much more about it. Then I looked at that first shot again.

I looked at the calendar and called Patrick over to my computer with this shot zoomed in.

“That’s not a bunny sweetheart. That’s our first whitetail fawn”.

The next morning I saw her with her baby. This little one was born the day before, in that misty morning and I had the privilege to see her a little closer, just this once.

I’d love to get a closeup like my fearless friend Melissa did recently on a fawn hunt.

But that night I saw on the news that a woman came between a cow elk and her calf and was trampled to near death.

I’ll probably go on a hike soon, when the ranch work slows down, and hope for a closer shot like hers but in the meantime, my heart just melts over her fawn portraits.
