Deer Country

This mother deer and her little fawn really enjoy sitting in the high grass near my home. The mother is looking out toward the bay. The fawn is watching me taking the picture. I see them both every morning.

Here's a close-up of the fawn, born about eight weeks ago. The baby's spots are almost gone. But the ears are still way large-out of proportion to the rest of the body-just like a puppy's feet. How cute is that?
