Baby in the Dunes


We saw a new fawn for the first time yesterday (June 14). The doe is keeping her out on the dunes which is a little unusual but good for us! The little, long-legged baby scampers back and forth when she’s allowed out. Mom has a hard time keeping an eye on her and us at the same time. The doe is pretty jumpy and I’m skulking around behind curtains trying to get a picture out a window. It was dusk and the sky was darkening when they came for an evening visit. The pictures are somewhat blurry because of the low light and the distance. She wouldn’t allow us close; she didn’t even like the quiet clicking of my camera. Well, really, we couldn’t even leave the house and she didn’t even want us LOOKING at her. Click here to see mom and baby. Happy spring!
