This morning I went over to haul the rest of the brush that we cut on Thursday over to the big brush pile. I deliberately did not go near any of the know fawn haunts as I was earlier than usual and didn't want to disturb them. I was also in a hurry to get to work to avoid this beastly heat.
After I hauled the brush and almost got mowed down by a huge Great Blue Heron, I decided to finish the circuit in the opposite direction before heading home. It wasn't even 9am, but already hot as hell in the sunshine. I was trudging up my little hill, avoiding the narrow path by the deer spot, when suddenly I glanced to my left, and there they were, a darling tableau, posing just for me.
It was amazed how long they stayed, I was sure that when I reached into my pocket for my camera they would bolt, but no...then I realized that I could get better light if I climbed a little past them, they still stayed until I was done. They were starting to move a bit as I left. I sure don't want them to become too habituated to me. Of course they live right in the midst of a pretty large area of housing, since I see them or a trio just like them feeding on my neighbor's lawn.
Anyway, I loved the light on their ears, added a rather rosy glow to the morning.
