This is some of the wildlife that hangs out in our area. Their Mama was getting a drink in our front yard fountain.
Aren't they cute??

Spring Twins..........
wow they are so cute!
Yes, they are adorable, do they do much damage to your plants?
The deer nibble on them from time to time. But only in the front yard......we fenced in the entire back yard, which is where we plant most everything. The front yard looks VERY different from the back yard.
But they are just being deer.....and you can't fault them for their nature.....and they really are soooo cute.
They look so cute! The ticks are real bad this year, so I kind of wish the deer would stay off my property. I wonder if sulfur would help much.
Look at this little bitty guy. He crawled through the 4"X4" welded wire fence to spend the hot afternoon in the lush grass under my mother's oak tree. When late afternoon arrived, he took himself back out through the fence and curled up by the driveway where his mother must have had him during the night before. Two does came by in a bit, and he disappeared.
All adorable! I miss seeing them - I used to live in upstate NY - deer everywhere

Oh, patrob........he is adorable. I just love the itty bitty ones.
Awww....
Reminds me of the orphan fawn we rehabilitated back in 05. Shannon stayed with us until the following spring when she found "the call of the wild" and realized she needed to go back into the woods.
Well, I thought I'd add our little visitor. We live in the country, with just one part of the property being our "yard". It's fenced and although we have other wildlife visitors in the yard part, we don't worry about deer coming inside the yard. They stay outside the fence. But today we were about to leave for a trip into town when DH noticed movement in the yard. I don't know for sure what happened...maybe the fawn jumped the fence somehow. The mother and some other deer were outside the fence and she looked worried. I thought about just leaving it there and leaving the gate open....but worried the other deer might end up joining "Junior" in the yard...and thinking about my garden...wondering how many of my plants would be left with hungry deer in the yard all day...I KNOW they're desperate for food with the drought being so extreme this year. Finally I told DH to open the gate and get out of sight. I walked around behind where the fawn was to scare it toward the side of the yard where the gate is. It worked! The smart little guy only needed to see the open gate and away it ran to find its family. A happy ending for all!
