I first saw this little guy (I've decided he's a boy) about two and a half weeks ago while I was washing dishes before work. I went to get my camera out of the drawer where it usually resides and it wasn't there. By the time I realized where my camera was (in Jason's unpacked luggage) and got it, the little guy had run into the woods. I had never seen a deer this small before and couldn't believe they were even ever this small. I saw him again a few days later while eating breakfast with Jason, Chris, and Kristen, but wasn't able to get a picture.
Yesterday, I was at the sink washing dishes before work and I saw the pair pop out of the woods. I dried my hands, grabbed my camera, and slowly opened up the back door - these two are very skittish, more so than the deer we usually see in our backyard. When I opened door, Baloo dashed out and into the backyard, something which he usually doesn't do. I captured Baloo, quietly shoved him back in the house, and was still able to get a few pictures. Although the little guy is definitely bigger than when I first saw him, he's still really small and incredibly adorable!

Ever since I had venison stew, I look at deer differently ;o)
So wrong, Dennis, so wrong. :)
They are so cute when they are small. In the woods down Huron Rd lives a mom and two little fawns. They came up to her knee. So tiny! The first time I saw them was when Matt was home in June. Then saw them again a month or so ago when talking the dogs in the morning. And again this morning I was taking a right onto Huron from Willow while walking the dogs and saw them standing in the ditch thinking about crossing the road from one corn field to the next. Luckily the cars slowed down and they choose to not cross!
