Fenway and I usually luck out on our morning walks....we see something even if I have to "settle" for a cardinal or a squirrel. I haven't spotted as many fawns this year but I know they are out there because Dave and Fen spot them on their late afternoon strolls up the bike path.
But the other day as we walked past the brew pub next door and along the stream a small motion caught my eye. There was a lovely little fawn napping in the morning sun. It watched us carefully as we went past on the sidewalk, but didn't move. It was still young enough to have it's spots for camoflage.
And then on the way back for coffee and breakfast in our condo one of the big migrating monarchs fluttered just ahead of us. It stopped to visit some wild bee balm alongside our path. I never get tired of spotting these beauties and always marvel that they are heading for Mexico for the winter! Those fragile-looking wings must be a lot sturdier than they look.
A sleepy fawn and migrating monarchs....a nice start to the day.
