Fawn Contemplating a Crossing
As I sat along the Housatonic River, covered in camouflage, a doe and fawn approached the river in front of me. They both entered the river but the doe turned back The fawn went a bit deeper and gazed across the river as if it were deciding whether to cross or not. Eventually, the doe's judgment won out and they both continued up the riverbank.
