Today, as my dog and I walked at Rib Mountain State Park, this little deer watched and watched us.

We stopped at the edge of the woods and I talked softly to her - while she kept an eye on that black dog.

She even walked closer to us and stood for awhile, but then got spooked by some other walkers.

She may have had a fawn nearby that she was protecting.

This picture was taken on my iPhone camera.  I almost brought my good camera along, but decided not to.

Bummer!  I'll never do that again...could have gotten some cool close-ups.

Lesson learned!
