No Fear

This little fawn was nestled in grass not far from my cabin in the Michigan upper Peninsula. When I approached, it made no attempt to get up and run. I assume this is because it is still too young to know that humans are dangerous predators. Mom was undoubtedly nearby watching us both.

A marvelous picture. Thank you.

When I lived on thousands of acres it seemed that every other year a fawn would become detached from its mother and when I was near it would follow me around. I didn't know what to do to introduce it to the dangers, so I would clap my hands; that sound must be in their DNA and they would run away. Hope their mom saw that. My Great Pyrenees livestock guardian (my a avatar) would protect fawns. Not mature deer, though. They were on their own unless coyote were near and heaven help those wannabe little dogs.

Thanks much. That's intriguing about your dog being protective of fawns but not adult deer. Every time I hear something like that it reinforces my opinion that we humans give far too little credit to the intelligence of non-human animals--particularly dogs.

I am typical of humans to be insensitive to the subtleties of our canine companions. My wife is so better attuned.Oh, here is the last photo of me mate and our Great Pyrenees taken with a $19 snapshot camera.

That proves it isn't the camera, but the photographer h that makes great photos. The dog looks like a magnificent companion and your wife is quite lovely.
