We have a doe bringing around her twins almost daily now. The fawns will sleep in the ferns or on our lawn for a hour or two while their mother browses through our garden. At times she seems to either forget or lose them but they always manage to find each other.

Wonderful!
Thanks very much Michael!
Blissful photos, Kenneth.
Thanks Tish – they are a great treat to have around.
Great shots Ken! And beautiful beings!
Thanks Mark! Hear you had a moose encounter – hopefully photos next time!?
They are simply overflowing with sweetness! Great close up shots. It almost makes me forget what a nuisance they can be as adults. 😉
Yes, aren’t they great! We have developed a form of a truce with our deer and fences improve the relationship immensely.
Beautiful! We have a couple of new fawns too, but their mom isn’t bringing them by very often yet. She comes daily (several times) and is very relaxed around our place, but they aren’t usually with her yet. We catch fleeting glimpses of them for now, and look forward to seeing them daily in the near future, when they join her on these visits.
Thanks Laurie! These twins could barely walk the first day so they were very new. By the next day their legs were straighter and they were running circles around their mom. One ran right up an sniffed us – good times.
These are extraordinary photographs – I love the ground-eye view, that wet nose, the doleful eyes. Wow.
I came around a corner to find the mother and doe standing near my workshop. The doe and one fawn moved off but this one just lay down and went into ‘hiding’ mode. I did some quick photos and gave it some space. It stayed about an hour then momma came and led it away.
