Cool Drink of Water

I can't remember, have I mentioned it's been hot around here lately? Sunday evening, this little scene unfolded right outside my back door; a testament to the conditions.
This little doe was thirsty.
I thought it was odd that a grown doe didn't have a fawn at her side this time of year. Ah, here comes Junior.
After drinking what the birds drink, they decided to come on up to within 20 feet of the back door to sample what the birds eat.Mom wasn't too impressed, but behind the tree, Junior found something to his liking. After a couple minutes, Mom walked off back into the woods and Junior looked up to find Mom gone.When all else fails; go back from whence you came.
Thirteen years ago, before my wife and I got married, I'd have never given a second thought about keeping water and bird feed out. Thanks Bec for helping me to think in different ways...
