Little Darlin'

This morning my neighbor Suzanne called about a newborn fawn that she found in the road! She was worried because it was just laying there- alive and fine, but hours old and in the road. I called our local biologist and was told that we could move it, if needed, but that Mama was likely nearby. As I was talking to the biologist, the wobbly little spotted one, got up and moved to the safety of a tree stump. It's hard to tell the size from these photos, but he/she was only about 1 ft. long. I was able to snap a few shots before mama came looking for her calf. An hour later, they were both gone- mama and baby reunited- happy endings are simply the best! Isn't the baby precious?
