Deer Peer in the Pasture

 Look at how we've grown! These are some of the fawns that we found curled up hiding in the grass at the beginning of June.

They are getting tall, and strong now.

These pictures were taken in the horse pasture this morning. We were enjoying watching the little ones romp and play.





They are truly beautiful, graceful creatures.

One darted across the road, almost in front of a truck -- just a reminder that these are country roads, please slow down, and watch the shoulders. Just like kids, the fawns don't stop to think about traffic before they run after Mom, or if they get scared.

It is hard to get a bad photo of these little ones, they are so pretty. This doe has her hooves full, with twins. We find impressions in the indoor arena where they sometimes curl up and have naps. The deer, oddly, like the arena despite it's 'artificial' appearance to a deer. We think it is because deer flies and horse flies don't go into buildings, and they can get relief from those pests.

Our favourite photo this month of the deer, however, is this one that Quinn Dalgarno took in our back fields.  We are big fans of Quinn's photography, and this one is superb. thanks for sharing it Quinn!
