Fawn & Puddle

[RPK0620]

This small fawn was drinking from the puddle alongside the road and I got a picture before it walked off.  About a ½ hour or more on my way back it was laying down in the puddle with not much of it visible.  I needed to back up to get a picture but got out instead and this time it ran into the brush & woods.  If you're wondering where......

Sometimes you have to wonder if Deer have more feelings then we give them credit for. I was sitting on the edge of a field waiting for Deer to come out.It started snowing.When the Deer finnally came out to the field 2 fawns began running and jumping back and forth the length of the feild as if they where happy and playing in the snow. Makes me wonder,where they feeling joy?

What I found interesting was that on my first encounter I was in my truck and the fawn wasn't concerned when I stopped. I put the window down and was telling it to get away from the road, clapped my hands and it ignored me.  However when I came back I wanted another picture and since it again wasn't concerned that I stopped  I opened the door and stepped out hoping to get a bit closer, I took two steps and it  looked at me and it ran off.

Was sitting not more than 4 yards from the edge of a somewhat busy road for who knows how long and not one bit afraid of the vehicles but when something different than what is is accustomed to it reacted...............
