Doe and two fawns

I was picking up the last of the boxes of 4th of July stuff to go into storage at the Shipwrights when a fawn crossed the highway into our front lawn. Soon the mother and sibling joined. I took this pic from in the carport with my cameraphone. Yeti was on the porch watching.

Back in early May i pulled in the driveway and there was a deer right next to the car. Yeti then hopped up on the hood so i shot a few videos. Yeti stayed up on the car though. After Cena’s story a month later seeing a deer chase Ollie onto the porch and trying to clobber him with its hooves i understand him keeping his distance. Although i have witnessed him attack deer before.

Ollie never gets up on the tent pole lounge chair. Don’s hides needed to air out and Ollie must have decided he liked them… Actually he used to nap on Don’s bag of hides when we stored them after his last time here for Mayfest.
