Newborn Fawn
Years and years of wildlife photography, 1000's of miles on the
odometer, and hours upon hours I can never get back (or want to),
searching for creatures big and small is how I spend my free time. A
wishlist in my head of encounters yet to be discovered is born, dreaming
of once-in-a-lifetime moments like this one I had this morning. Magical
is all I can say...
I have only seen in pictures, a fawn
barely a few hours old, hiding from predators as mom is away, a survival
instinct never taught, but bred into their wild genes.
Note: Newborn fawns have almost no body odor and their reddish brown
coat with white spots make young fawns almost invisible to predators.
Fawns lie motionless on the ground surrounded by low vegetation. The
fawn’s natural instinct is to freeze even when approached by another
animal. As fawns grow and mature, they will initially freeze, but they
jump up and bound away.
Please don't try to "rescue" an abandoned
fawn. They are not without their mother. She must leave her baby to
feed herself, as the fawn is not yet strong enough to go with her. The
mother always returns!
I truly love those pics, nice job.
ReplyDeleteCould he be ANY sweeter?? How cute. Don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, and forgive me for doing so, but your text in the post is so tiny, I have a hard time reading it. Getting old I guess. LOL
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, simply breathtaking! I think I would burst into tears if I'd ever be lucky enough to see this (I may also have a huge weakness for fawns, ha).
ReplyDeleteIncredible photos!
Cute little thing! Wonderful encounter and pictures...
ReplyDeleteI have to say, your pictures you took that day are truly amazing. I can see why this may be a once-in-a-lifetime event to come across. There is so much beauty in nature and in looking through you images and experiences, you have encountered. They all are amazing and unique, but this specific one with the fawn is precious. I never realized that they would lie so still as a means of protection while the mother is away. I am glad that you share this bit of information because I think there are probably many out there who also did not realize this. Keep up the great photography and I hope you have many, many more wonderful and once-in-a-lifetime moments.
ReplyDeleteThese are fanastic shots!

Breathtakingly beautiful. Awesome to realize the hidden beauty of God and all of creation. Thank you for capturing and sharing all of this. Will share it with my animal loving grandaughter. Found your site by asking a random wildlife question.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe Problem in our society are the Freemasons, aka masons. If they were to disappear, the world would be a farrrr.....better place!
ReplyDeleteMasonry, the sure path to ruin. You may not see it now in the beginning, but you will as you progress in the craft and further yourself away from God and your Christian faith...
For starters, masons are interested ONLY in accepting those that hold some position of importance or authority in society. If it is a would be or actual politician than even better! Masons do NOT accept regular joes, homeless, or unimportant lazy folk. Second, the hook is the so-called Believe in a Higher Being nonsense (be it Jew, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim etc.). Third, as the mason progresses through the stages in the craft, the end goal for him is to realize that He does not need God because the transformation has occurred whereby the member realizes he is a God unto himself. Moreover, the ceremonies he participates in are Occult period and anti-Catholic (Christian), Muslim, Jewish, and Buddhist. They are demonic period.
Fourth, it is the duty of every mason not to knowingly or wittingly do harm, talk bad about or tell on his fellow mason. And, when a fellow mason is in need or danger to help him above all else. Therefore, this is the WHY it is so simple for the pedophiles within the occult mason organization to easily rape, molest, enter children with impunity. Some use mikey Finn, or simply get vulnerable children in exchange for cash to their families who need it. No fellow mason can, or is allowed by their own acceptance of the rules when entering the craft, to "tell" on one another. Hence, the perfect crime.
Fifth, just to clarify, the end game of masonry, which also is the de facto mission of the occult, is to slowly like hairloss, have it's members deconstruct all that is descent and Holy in society. Masonry and Catholicism are non-congruent. This is why every mason has a duty to oppress society (one of the masonic central tenets is: Through Chaos Comes Order, and it is the masons that will establish their occult order unto society). This is the reason why they work hard to destroy all that is sanctity in society and impose demonic teachings (For example: no Lord's prayer, gays and lesbians and 1/2 and 1/2 are a good thing,not a mental disorder which it is and if you oppose this you are racist of some sort. Have an abortion because it is not a human you have inside you but a piece of pepperoni, flood countries with muslims who NEVER integrate and are shut-in and by nature only impose on all their religious ways of thinking at all costs etc.).
And lastly, If one is a Catholic one cannot become a freemason. DO NOT be fooled by the masons and their lies. It is a mortal sin and excommunication to follow. If it were up to me i would banish masonry peiod, jail the pedophiles and bring forth to the Hague International Court all masons to pay for their Crimes Against Humanity. Hopefully, some day, this will occur.
