Lots of Deer

They like the meadow just on the other side of the pond.  

As we come around the hillside, they always freeze and stare at us.  Then one will make a sneeze-like sound, and they scatter.

 

Doe and her Fawns

Frolic is a word that doesn't get used much.  Happy twin fawns make you want to use it though. They frolic until their mama makes a sound like a sneeze, then their white tails go up, and they disappear into the trees.

A Doe and Her Fawn

Sometimes they don't mind being watched.

This doe and her fawn stepped out of the woods to nibble a bed of irises.

 Such gentle little things..
