Baby and Doe

This morning we woke up to a baby deer curled up under the kid's slide.  He is sooo tiny!  We didn't see Mama until a few minutes later when she came wondering out of the woods, but she didn't seem too concerned that baby was napping undisturbed under the slide.  After we came home from mass they were still out back, and at one point baby decided to get up and walk around the play structure a bit.  His little legs were so wobbly!  Mama came by again and baby got up and chased her down to nurse.  Sounds about right. ;-)  They wondered off into the empty lot next door, I'm certain that's where they still are because there's no other empty lots nearby.  Needless to say we've kept Finley very close today!

Stephanie, this is PRICELESS! A tiny baby deer nosing in a playscape...if there is any better juxtaposition of man & beast living harmoniously, I can't think of it.

BEAUTIFUL!
