16 " X 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
One of the supreme rewards spending our summers here in the North Carolina Smokey Mountains is the occasional fawn sighting!
These beautiful creatures are the babies of white-tailed deer and are born April through July. Most first time mom's have only one baby but will typically have twins or triplets afterwards. Last year having a mom and triplets cross our front lawn as we watched from the deck was an unforgettable thrill!
These little forest treasures are left alone in hidden areas of tall grasses or bush while mom goes off to eat. She returns at dawn and dusk to feed and maybe move her baby. Sometimes when we see a very young fawn wandering alone, it's natural to feel panic (I know I do) but it's necessary to leave the fawn alone and mom will return to take care of it providing it's best chance for survival.
