It's always a special day when you spot a fawn along the side of the road, but if you have your camera with you... that's when the day is complete. Melanie Hakala Rossi recently had one of those days and shares the results here today. The fawn was just there, warily checking out Melanie as she snapped its photo. After a short time, it decided it was time to cross the road. Thank goodness the traffic stopped to let him across without incident. He looks to be quite happy to be on the move, with a skip in his step as he makes it across the road and then what looks like a full out sprint, to get away from his admirers. Good job, Melanie and thanks for sharing with us.

Glad to see them on the hoof and not on the side of the road!

One of the many joys to the Great U.P. outdoors!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!

They are beautiful little creatures. And I agree with you, jbuck. Recently I was riding with my daughter on an errand and just a very short distance from my house we almost had an encounter with full-grown one....however it stopped short of coming onto the road, turned and went back from whence it came. One of those times when your heart jumps up into your throat.:<

Shirley,

"One of those times when your heart jumps up into your throat"...and you hope your car insurance is paid up! lol

Remembering my son Edward Allen, born 07/31/1981,
who would have been 31 on Tuesday.

My angel shines as a star above, showing me how
happy he is to be in God's loving arms.

Is there really anything more beautiful than a spotted fawn ? I just LOVE today's photos.


By Shirley Waggoner (Shirlohio) on Thursday, August 2, 2012 - 12:01 pm:

You're right about that, Bob, as my daughter and son-in-law found out many years ago....a deer bounded into their car and made a BIG mess, and thankfully they had the insurance.


By Shirley Waggoner (Shirlohio) on Thursday, August 2, 2012 - 12:07 pm:

Laure, offering my condolences for your loss. What a very sad memory for you. A big hug sent your way!

Spotting a spotted deer. Oh, deer.

Great photos today!

Speaking of things crossing the road in front of you; yesterday near Kiruna, Sweden we had one of these guys cross right in front of us. Luckily I spotted him in time to stop and get a couple pics:

By Janie T. (Bobbysgirl) on Thursday, August 2, 2012 - 05:52 pm:

Oh Capt, what a beautiful, majestic picture! I would love to have this picture enlarged! love it, love Caribou!


By Capt. Paul (Eclogite) on Thursday, August 2, 2012 - 06:07 pm:

I have quite a number of reindeer (caribou) photos from out trip so far. Fire an email this way Janie and I'll see what I can do after I get back.... J


By Janie T. (Bobbysgirl) on Thursday, August 2, 2012 - 06:22 pm:

Capt, sent you an email, at least I think I mastered it, lol! Thank You!!!!
