Doe and Fawn share a tender moment

I still can't believe that I was able to witness this moment. It felt as though all the stars had to align for me to witness this. I was walking a fairly busy trail through a green space in Winnipeg and I had just passed a group of people on the trail that were fairly noisy. However, I managed to put just enough distance between myself and that group before stumbling across this scene. The doe and fawn were in a small clearing just across the creek that was in between us. I think the creek was just enough of a barrier to make the two Whitetail deer feel safe. The mother was initially standing in front of the fawn, but after a moment, the fawn stepped out and the mother began to groom it. I had the space completely to myself to just soak in the moment. What was also great was that I had a clear view and the deer were well lit. This might just be my favourite wildlife photography experience of the year.
