Newborn…<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Deer<\/a>\"Deer<\/a><\/p>\n

Sandra noticed a deer laying down in a corner of our garden yesterday.\u00a0 Thinking she was just taking a nap, Sandra went about her business.\u00a0 A short while later, she noticed that the deer was still there \u2013 but now she had a tiny fawn with her, still struggling to stand on its brand new, unsteady legs.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve always tried to live comfortably with the many creatures that share our garden, and we felt quite honoured that Momma deer felt this was a safe place for her.\u00a0 Deer regularly pass through our property, sometimes even stopping to bed down for a nap, or for the night.\u00a0 But this is the first time we\u2019ve hosted such an intimate event.<\/p>\n

We watched Momma and her baby for some time, leaving them plenty of space so as not to stress them.\u00a0 She kept one eye on us as she went about her bonding, and her nuzzling, and as baby curled up between her legs and found lunch.\u00a0 One of the greatest experiences a person can have is to make a real connection with wildlife.\u00a0 When Momma looked directly at me, we were connected.\u00a0 When she calmly went back to her own business, it was a vote of confidence \u2013 a message that she was OK with me if I was OK with her.\u00a0 I take that as a gift, and as a privilege.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Late update:\u00a0 Jesse saw Momma and her baby again this morning, but this time baby had a tiny sibling.<\/p>\n
