Driving through the parking lot at work this morning, I was thinking about blackberries, and driving slowly to check a couple of spots where I had seen berry bushes in prior years.

While doing so, I saw a small animal walking down the sidewalk, right next to the wooded area. A baby deer? But it was so small, the size of a cat. I paused, then drove slowly by to get a better look.

Maybe it was a young goose that had gotten separated from its parents; it was about that size too... It started running when it noticed me. Its running gait looked similar to a hare's. But when it stopped and turned to look at me, I saw clearly that it was a cute little fawn. Long ears, spots on its back, skinny legs. It disappeared into the trees.

I didn't realize that baby deer could be so small. I envisioned them being larger than that at birth. Bambi from the movie always seemed bigger than that to me.
