That time of the year again....


Spring is here finally. I love each season for it's various reasons. I love spring because the woods behind our home is filled with budding new flowers and babies of all shapes and sizes. A few years ago I witnessed the birth of a fawn much like the one in this pic that my hubby took a few years ago in the woods by our house. I heard a noise out in the field and turned on the spotlight and saw a doe and a wobbly kneed little fawn trying to stand as she cleaned the afterbirth off him or her. It was wonderful.

My husband walked up on this one and took it while it crouched down and pretended to sleep. The mother was a short way off with the twin to this one, hiding. Fawns have a natural instinct to blend in with their background and that is what he was doing....
