Spent Xmas With My Friends

[Bruce Gordon]

Mule Faced Deer Fawn

[Bruce Gordon]

Mama, I think.

[John Thompson]

Very nice friends indeed Bruce.  It must have been an enjoyable outing.

[Bruce Gordon]

It was, thanks John. Got to pet one as well…

[Preston]

I like your fawn picture.  It’s like you were playing a dame of peek-a-boo

[Bruce Gordon]

Thanks Preston!

The fawns are naturally more skittish than the adults, so they tend to hang at the back and watch. The one I got to pet was a fawn last year, so they are learning to be both more bold and less timid with each generation.

Wonderful shots Bruce. I particularly like the first one.

[Bruce Gordon]

Thanks Kent!

[Anne Hornsby]

What interesting face & ears this species has, Bruce.  And your shots give such as sense of personality!   In Maryland U.S., we have the white-tailed deer, not the mule-faced.   It looks like your friends have their winter coats.

Thanks Anne! This herd lives near Evergreen Colorado at about 8500’ above sea level. The are pretty well into winter now, and got about 8-10’ of snow just last night.

And I thought Koalas were cute! Just want to wrap an arm around these critters and nuzzle into them. Lovely shots bruce.

[Bruce Gordon]

Thanks Graham! They are quite endearing creatures, and fun to observe.
