Do Not Disturb

While out walking around in the woods looking for morels yesterday, look what I found.  It took me by surprise since I was just scanning the ground looking for morels and then all of a sudden, I see this beautiful silky and shiny ball of fur curled up next to this tree.  The sleeping fawn really wasn't sleeping.  

I carefully got my cell phone out of my pocket and took two photos.  I gently walked around the one side of the fawn and I could see it's eyes wide open.  The fawn never moved, not once.  I never walked out in front of it so it could see me face to face.....didn't want to scare the poor thing.  What a beautiful fawn baby.

So did we find any morels, no!  We didn't even find one.  I believe it is too early for us here in Dunn County.  I do think the morels will pop out later this week when it warms up.  I won't have time to go walking through the woods because of my work schedule, but maybe Bike man can take a walk later this week.
