Growing up, I was never a huge fan of the movie Bambi. I mean, other than Thumper (and who doesn’t love Thumper!) it was just too sad!

But, I am a fan of baby deer, so when this cute little fawn paid us a backyard visit while we were spending time with our grandgirlies last week, I was quite excited.

It was definitely a curious little thing…

…and at one point began racing and romping along the fence line.

It seems that Mama was in the yard next door, and before long, she hopped over the fence to join the youngster.

Then, she led her little one to another place to graze, where they wouldn’t have to worry about the lady with the lens!

Ahhh…so much better than Bambi!
