“Fawndly” Speaking

The Unexpected Visitor

This time of year, we’re often confronted with baby deer in our neighborhood, and unlike some homosapsens, I find them irresistible, versus irritating.

This particular one was born about a week prior to my photo, then decided to lay on our driveway, under my husband’s pickup truck. Mama was no where near but a very observant neighbor kindly pointed her out before we drove off without knowing.

We left her undisturbed and a few days later, she appeared under a bush in our front yard where I could get a shot without scarring her. Mama wasn’t far off this time so without hesitation, I grabbed my camera and longest lens and fired away.

That little face stared back at me many times over the next year until I decided to give her the painterly touches you see above. And as always, I hope you enjoy the end result and that you’ll continue to tune in!
