First Fawn......

We have had a string of amazingly perfect late spring days here in Port....and in most of Wisconsin. Temperatures in the 70's, the sun is shining and a gentle breeze rustles through trees boasting full heads of leaves. I would take this kind of day all summer long.

Fenway and I took a second walk about 8:30 and went north past the brew pub and toward the park by the volley ball court. As we walked along the sidewalk next to the parking lot a slight movement caught my eye and I turned toward the stream. Can you see someone looking back at me?

My phone doesn't take the best pictures but the fawn stood still and just stared at us from across the water. Mom wasn't in sight and she must have told her youngster to stay put until she returned. So little fawn didn't move much....maybe a step or two as it hid in the tall grass, shrubs and flowers.

We stood there for a few minutes and just watched. I'd been trying to spot a fawn for the past several weeks without any luck so this was a nice moment for me. I could check "first fawn" off my to-do list for 2020. Peek a boo!

And then on the way back into our building we walked along the sidewalk and the scent of roses drifted up. Our bushes are in bloom and the perfume is just lovely. 

We are still practicing physical distancing so don't get to connect with friends and neighbors as often as we'd like. A morning walk like today seems to mean even more....appreciating the small moments.
