We had a fawn in our lillies of the valley patch yesterday! It must have just been born...oh, was it ever darling. It looked so scared, I felt sorry for it. She/it was gone a few hours later however, so I think the mother came back to fetch it, and move it to a safer location. (Apparently they nurse at dawn, hide the fawn for the entire day, then come back to nurse at dusk...all the while luring away predators/eating etc. Quite an interesting process, really.) The odd thing is, that very morning I'd been thinking about 'what if I found a fawn' while on a jog...is that strange or what?!? Anyhow, I was going to name her Luthien...but then she was gone.
