    That little fawn is so cute! And great pictures of the bumble bee. I think I like B1 the most because of the upside down-ness of it. The color of those flowers contrasts nicely with the stark black on the bee.

    No, well I went out on the back porch the other night to check if it had cooled off any and there were two fawns a little bigger than that but still with spots standing beside the porch about 10 feet away. I froze and they stood there looking for awhile before resumed what they were doing but I couldn't get back inside to the camera before they took off. Momma was in the back yard out of my line of sight. One fawn had a couple long scars on it's back like something had tried to drag it down or it had got into some branches.

    Do you usually set them free when they are old enough or keep them in nature centers or zoos? I know with deer it can be hard because they learn to trust people easily and with hunters that can be bad. I hope it has a wonderful long life and awesome shooting on the bees!

    Great B shots, upside down looks to be holding on for dear life. The fawn is a wonderful shot of how we have taken a toll on nature...bless you and your efforts.

    The bee shots, especially the first were great!! How old do you estimate the fawn to be?

  • BusyB1965 7/17/06 5:29 PM
    Fawns are beautiful, hope it does alright and will be able to survive on its own. Those bee shots are extrooo-di-nare.
