Tucked into the roots of a Cypress Tree this new born fawn was hunkered down, surrounded by water.

I’m not sure how he got there; it would have been interesting to watch and know what was on the mother’s mind.

A few hundred feet away was a watchful pair of eyes and listening ears. This one seemed way to small to be the mother, perhaps it was an older cousin.

Lovely shots Ellen! I hope the fawn remains safe.
Thanks, Belinda! Laying where it was so wet doesn’t seem like a good start but mothers in the wild seem to know what they are doing.
These are so beautiful, Ellen! That top image should be in line for a photographic award, it is so fine!
Wow, thank you, Pete! I’m so glad that you liked them.
Your first image is stunning, so nicely composed. What a wonderful sighting, I hope it’s Momma was close by!
Thanks, Donna! I was so surprised, never expected to see such a young one.
This is beautiful Ellen! So sweet and innocent. Great shots.
Thanks, Gina! I never expected to see one, especially not so close to where humans walk.
