This young one was exploring some time away from mom.
She wasn’t too far away and could swing into action if necessary.
Happy Saturday.

They are so gangly and cute at that age as they set off to explore their worlds. Happy Saturday Lynette. Allan
Right? We saw another mom with a very little one that she was hiding in some long grass; when we came by the two of them quickly left. I was so sorry to have disturbed them. This older one, on the other hand, was testing his boundaries.
You really are surrounded with Nature’s best places on Earth!!
Yes, we are very fortunate to live in a place with a lot of natural beauty. 🙂
That does make me happy.
I’m glad to hear that! 🙂
Everyone loves deer, especially fawns. They are so gentle and non-threatening.
There was a family group ahead of us on the trail who also loved seeing this fawn. I agree; they are so sweet.
Very cute. It’s always nice to spot some wildlife, especially of the young ones.
Yes, they are so cute. Very gangly and hungry!
Cute. They really are all legs at that age.
Yes, they really are, and almost seem to be defying gravity on those spindly legs!
Such a privilege to be so close to wildlife. Wonderful!
There are lots of deer (and bears!). I don’t see as many animals here as I do in the north because it’s so much more populated. Last summer when the fires were so bad, we had many, many animals in town.
We count ourselves lucky on those odd occasions we spot a deer, boar, or buzzard. There are grey squirrels aplenty, however, and many smaller birds. We’ve yet to see our beavers or the newly introduced pine martens, but time will no doubt tell.
It’s good to know wildlife found sanctuary from the fires and came to your town.
I hope your beavers are doing well and that you catch a glimpse soon. They are mostly active during the late evening and night, so that could be why you haven’t seen them yet. Lovely that the pine martens are being introduced.
Due to their location, Lynette, we’d have to take torches to make the journey safely. But their fenced area is now so overgrown it’s impossible to see into it at present. There’s plenty of evidence of their activity, but we’ll have to wait for winter before we’ll be able to observe the area where they’re active. But we can be patient and will probably make a special walk there once the vegetation dies down a little.
It’s exciting to hear that they are doing so well! Yes, an autumn walk when the vegetation has died back may give you a good look.
