Fawn

Shortly after arriving at work this morning, I looked out the window and saw a brand new fawn, maybe a day or two old.

Baby

It was lying in the grass, where I assume its mother had left it. A buck was coaxing it along by licking and pawing at it. It would get up, move a few steps, then lie back down.

The buck kept coaxing it.

There were some plumbers near by working outside. I can only assume the buck saw them as a threat and tried moving the fawn.
