This is just a precious capture Ruth. I sure hope mom has returned by now. #9468766

Oh, she'll be back, you can count on it. Momma deer leave their babies for extended periods of time while they forage but they always remember where they left the little one. This is just a marvelous and lucky capture, Ruth...be careful - Momma's can get riled pretty easily if they think baby is being threatened! #9468808

Thank you Jeff, R.J., Val, Julie, Bobby and Ron. Mom did come back and took her baby home! :-) #9471305

So glad she did! It isn't often a Mom deer "misplaces" her baby - but it does happen - very glad it didn't this time. And happy you got the wonderful captures you did while Mom was out doing whatever Mom deer do...not very responsible tho, huh? :) #9471378

Ohhhhhh...this is so precious, Ruth! We have so many deer where I live, and I always get concerned when I just see the baby and no mother. Fortunately, for the most part, she's never too far away. Beautiful image! Deb #9637708
