Doe and fawn having a drink

I have been seeing a mother deer and its offspring roaming around in the last few weeks. It was taking a drink of the edge of the water when I got out my camera and finally got a few pictures. It has been a hot July month, so they come down and drink probably a few times a day. Looks like the baby is growing up, and soon should lose its spots.

A closer view of them. I cropped the image a bit so we can see them a little better. But I really like the first picture as it really captures the environment around them.

The fawn was probably born this year, its so mom is showing it around and getting it used to being on its own soon.

It is always such a treat getting to see the wild life.

I think the mother noticed me and went into the brush.

The baby quickly followed the mother.

Hehe it has to hop to get out of the water.

And just like that they are gone, disappearing into the wood line.

Nice catch , then it is nice to have those extra mm to get a decent shot . and once they know you mean no harm they will be back more often i guess to drink .

Sure is cool having the ability to zoom in with my new lens.. before this my mostly kit lenses could not get me shots like this.

Yeah they do seem to feel pretty comfortable here.

Very cute! We saw a deer today too.

Ah nice, its been fun seeing them so much on the east coast.

Dey are looking good mother always around here 🤗 are children I never see them before I wish I can see them because I like animals

Yeah looks like the mother is taking good care of the fawn.

Beautiful

They sure are.

Wow que animal más hermoso! A pesar de haber visto mucho animales, nunca he podido ver un ciervo. Que escena maravillosa!

I do really like seeing animals around, its quite the cool experience.

It's always awesome to see deer out in the wild. It's a real treat to see them just wandering, deer around here don't have the spots when they are young like the one's back east. I used to see those in southern Jersey. Beautiful animals, and some great camera shots!

Oh interesting how they are different from region to region. I mostly only know what they look like around here.. Will be cool to see deer from other areas one day.

thanks!

Where's Daddy?

Solo needs some jerky.

Hah probably knocking up some more does

I’ve only seen deer a few times, but never this close! Must’ve been such a magical moment. Nature really hits different when you slow down and notice the little things

They are very cool seeing up close like this, I think they feel quite comfortable in this location.

good things come in small packages, ain't it?

Hah yeah one day it should grow up to be just as big as the mother.

What an incredible moment to see deer in the wild. It's very difficult to see wild animals like this here in my area. You're very lucky, my friend.

Ah thanks, I am really thankful to be able to experience it here.

Wow... these photographs are brutal! I'm breathless imagining the privilege of seeing these beautiful animals so close...

They sure are cool to see

These are beautiful photos and your place looks wonderful. That little Bambi hop out of the water made me smile 😊🦌

Hehe yeah had a little trouble but it got out eventually.

Haha poor thing! Glad it made it out safely.

It was cute how the baby deer followed the mother. That's a wonderful clear shot.

Yeah I am glad I was able to capture the moment.

OMG what a cute scene!! I would pay for seeing that in person! Thanks a lot for sharing!

It sure is amazing to see.. feels like I live in a nature documentary sometimes.

right time at right place

exactly, saw them many times before.. just not when I had my camera on hand.

Hola, me gusta sus fotos.

Ah thank you

Beautiful photos with this deer. Thank you for posting.

I think so too.. glad you liked it.

Great Post with beautiful Shots

So cool that you can see nature like this whenever you want. You are living the dream man. Keep up the great work.

These pictures could actually tell a story.

I’ve always thought that the way animals look after their offspring is admirable.

Thank you for giving us a quick view of your world…
