Day 143

While driving down a busy road my daughter Kathryn and I saw this little guy crossing the street. I pulled over , grabbed my camera and started shooting. We started to get nervous for him because he crossed the road 4 times, while we were there.
We saw the mother sitting in the wood, probably trying to get her strength back, we think he was only a couple hours old.
My daughter stayed at the top of the hill to get the oncoming cars to slow down because they couldn't see us from around the curve in the road. I stayed with the little guy and soon realized, he was following me. He kept rubbing up against my legs . My daughter said "He thinks you're his Mom !" Once I realized that, I climbed down the rocks and started to make my way into the woods, and he followed me. As we got deeper in towards where the Mom was he took off on his own.
What an exciting day, I have never seen a fawn before.
