This beautiful creature appeared to be by itself. Apparently the mother doe will wean her young by September or October. This fawn looked quite large to be a spotted baby and I am assuming it has already separated from its mother.

A Young Spotted Fawn
I was hoping I might see some deer this morning while driving along a country road. I pulled to the side to take pictures of a wild apple tree which had beautiful red fruit. when I looked up from my picture taking I saw this beautiful fawn in front of my car looking at me.

This was a wonderful encounter to begin my morning drive with. I was hoping to see some Canada Geese or maybe a Great Blue Heron but the only nature creature whose image that I carried home in my camera was this young deer.

How sweet to see this young one. In August a doe and triplets were waiting to cross the road here. The deer are coming out more the past 2 weeks. We have to keep our eyes open all the time.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! And what a great shot you got of it.
ReplyDeleteMoments like that are the ones that stick in your mind. To have a young animal stop and look directly at you is one of the most special feelings yu will have.
