If you visit here often, you know I have made a few trips back to Bazemore Park in Calallen Texas to see the fawns after finding a very pregnant doe a few weeks past. Well, Sunday, September 6th, I had my work done for the day, online, so I hopped in the car and drove the half hour to the park before sunrise. Deer are quite active, and usually feed at day break at this park. I went down the steep hill toward the river bank, and when I got about half way down the park road, off in the field, there were about a dozen grazing on the field grasses! Three fawns, two bucks, and the rest of the herd...were does. I took dozens of photos to make sure I had some 'good ones' for the record!
The Fawns:
The Two Bucks [a three point & a two point]
Four of the many does...

Like all Bambi Fawns, they too will be princes and princesses of the forest...
Nice. ;)
ReplyDeleteone of my favorite critters in this park.
DeleteAwwwwwww Anni.... how beautiful.... the pictures AND the story to go along with them. ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeletethey are beautiful, I agree.
DeleteNice to have a place to be able to sit and observe them. The only place I've ever gotten to see them was when I was driving and they were running out in the road.
ReplyDeletethis area is deer haven most days of the year...and the speed limit on the park road is 5MPH to protect them from being hit. In other words, they have the right-away.
DeleteThey are truly beautiful creatures, thank you for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteThanks, glad you enjoyed them.
Deletetotaly amazing to me, you have photos of mama and papa and baby too... the fawns are so sweet. I am a Bambi lover...
ReplyDeleteMe too...that's why I kept going back so often the last couple of weeks, to see the 'newborn'.
DeleteSuch beautiful and sweet animals. I love the fawns especially. Your pictures are wonderful! :-)
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, sweet as can be!!
DeletePeace and tranquility, that's what I see there! The photos are grand, too! Have a grand weekend and thank you !
ReplyDeleteIt definitely IS a very peaceful area.
DeleteWhat dear DEER photos...I can count the spots...
ReplyDeleteHow is Isiah doing? I know you and Bud will be glad when hurry-cane season is over....that added to all that 2020 as given us.
Hugs Cecilia
Our baby is doing well...over weight and feisty!
Delete2020 truly has been one "sucky" year.
They are such gorgeous animals.
ReplyDeleteThanks Molly.
DeleteThese photos are remarkable Anni 💮
ReplyDeleteThanks Jan
DeleteWhat a delight to be able to see and photograph those beautiful babies. I am envious.
ReplyDeleteIt is always a joyful day when I get to see them.
DeleteNot knowing anything about them...... Are those does still pregnant? Or have they already had the babies, you saw?
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I am dense, about this....
🍁💛🍂💛🍁
No, the does are not visibly pregnant. (could be, but I imagine, for now, their "season" is over)
DeleteNature and animals are sooooooooooooooooo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI always shake my head trying to figure out how those that do...hunt them down. Most think it's survival, but I say to them...fiber, fruit, etc. can sustain you.
DeleteYour photos are wonderful! Looking forward to seeing more in the future.
ReplyDeleteThanks! You're always welcome here! I love your humor.
DeleteBeautiful..... I know the thing about hunting and all... but having almost been killed by one in a car.... and the over population...enough said.
ReplyDeleteThey keep the population down in this park by relocating them.
DeleteAs the saying goes...too much of a good thing is not good. Well we are overrun here with deer and they are a nuisance tearing up farmer's crops, backyard gardens, and causing accidents on both the back roads and highways. They still are an interesting and beautiful animal to view and learn about.
ReplyDeletesee my comment above.
DeleteGreat photos of the deer. I feel so blessed to be able to watch deer on our property just about every day!!
ReplyDeleteyou ARE blessed (in so many ways)
DeleteReally good pictures! The fawns are so sweet!

ReplyDeleteThanks Kim
DeleteI get so excited when I see deer here but I haven't seen a fawn yet. That really would be thrilling! Great photos my friend!
ReplyDeleteI knew we were gonna have fawns, just had to time it well to see 'em.
DeleteWonderful pictures. I get excited to see a couple of fawns, but you seem to have hit the jackpot with bucks,does and fawns.
ReplyDeleteYes, I did! I was very happy to see them.
DeleteWhat great pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteSo beautiful! I love to see the deer, especially the fawns. Where we used to live we saw them frequently, but not so much here, and I miss them. So glad you could enjoy watching them. They are so graceful.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy this when I find 'em.
DeleteFawns just have to be one of the cutest baby animals...you got some great pics.
ReplyDeleteHi Rose...I was thinking that maybe Roger was sick ...or YOU!
