Deer Day

Sometimes coffee on the back porch really pays off. I happened to look toward the pond and saw a deer on the far side. Fortunately, Gus didn't see her, so I sent him inside. He would have barked and scared her away. 

 I couldn't tell what she was doing until I zoomed in with my camera. She was nursing her baby. How lucky am I?

She saw me watching her...

...but didn't seem to mind.

She stayed there until her fawn was finished nursing, then they took off into the woods. Not something I've ever seen before, but sure happy she shared with me.
