My friend Bob Merritt has been nice enough to let me wander about on his land, and the other day I came across these twins. They are this year's deer, about 4-5 months old. Technically they are fawns, although the spots faded out a month or so ago.
But these two were so very curious about me, even though I was out in the middle of a field. I had hunkered down trying to make myself as small as possible so they wouldn't just turn tail and run. But after their initial fear subsided a little, they actually began walking toward me! They just couldn't figure out what I was, and their curiosity was getting the best of them. They got to within about 40 yards of me before they decided they had seen enough, which was a good thing because I had been holding the camera up the whole time and my arms were getting very shaky! It wasn't until I got back home and uploaded the images that I noticed the little bumps on their heads and realized that they were twin bucks.
It's days like this that keep you coming back for more....
