Anyone who knows my wife knows that she has a soft spot for deer. On our travels around the country it became a sort of superstition that any day she saw a deer was going to be a very good day.
This afternoon fit that in spades, and she didn't even have to leave our back yard!
She went out about 2 o'clock and she saw twin fawns and their mother grazing just outside our back fence, less than 50 feet away. She very quietly sat down to watch them and when I came out about 2:30 she signaled for me to be quiet so as not to scare them away. We watched them until about 3 - wanting to go get a camera or at least a phone to get a picture but unwilling to take a chance on spooking them.
They finally ran off into our woods, but she got to watch them for a full hour.
