Deer fawn.

Although we have lots of deer here in Fairfield Glade, this picture is not from the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee. It is from Aurora Ohio. This is our granddaughter Marissa with a white tailed deer fawn that showed up in her neighborhood. The deer walked through yards and even walked up onto Marissa's front porch. It is very rare for a deer fawn to show little fear of humans like this one. It is probably (hopefully) just temporarily separated from its mother. After following the neighborhood kids around for awhile it scampered back into the woods. This was such a cute (and rare) picture that I couldn't resist posting it.

Marissa can now be called the Deer Whisperer... This photo earned a jaw drop from Justin and Brooke. We've spied deer several times in the lots behind our house. I guess all of the Hazel family is enjoying neat animals near their homes. However, Marissa wins the prize for this one!
