Welcome

    Don the Fawn
             Sharon and I have always loved the outdoors. To hike in the woods, canoe on a lake, or bike in the mountains to us was like going on a mini vacation. A camera was always the first thing packed for any adventure. We recently had the opportunity to come to the aid of a newborn fawn who apparently had tumbled down a steep mountain and wound up in the middle of a busy narrow winding mountain road. He didn’t seem injured but there was no way possible to climb back up the mountain with the little fawn. We were left with two choices: leave him in the roadway or try to get him to a rehab. We chose the latter and by 8:00 am the next morning he was in good hands at a rehab 1 1/2 hours from our home.        The experience was so touching we decided to share the few images we had of him, along with several others from our collection in our first of a series of children’s books. We also felt it was a good opportunity for us to pass on some information about fawns and how the majority of them are put into rescue or rehab facilities when in reality they were perfectly safe where they were.
