And I Didn’t Have My Camera!!!!
It was a beautiful morning this morning so my wife and I decided to do some hiking in Boulder. We went to the Anemone Hill trail. This is a fairly easy hike and is very scenic this time of year. After we had gone down to the end of the trail and started heading back, we had the sight of a lifetime. We stopped on a small bridge in the shade for a break and to watch the creek and noticed some movement about 50 feet down the creek bed; it was a deer munching on some branches. Now, being from Michigan, I’ve seen plenty of deer but this one was fairly close. Then about a minute later we noticed a baby deer off to our right in the tall grass. This fawn couldn’t have been more than a couple of days old and wasn’t any more than about 20 feet away from us. The mother deer came back to corral the fawn in, but didn’t seem threatened by us at all. She licked the baby for a minute or two then they calmly walked away. I was really regretting leaving my camera at home.
