Little Fawn in Rockland

I was driving home Thursday and turned onto Limerock St from Old County Road and just past the dump, a doe ran out of the field across the street and stood waiting on the other side for this fawn to follow. All at once about 10 cars coming from both directions sent the doe into the woods. As I got my camera out I turned around to the sound of rustling brush and there was this little guy not far from me at all. When I lifted my camera up and pointed it at her she perked up like she was posing for me. I started walking towards her as I wanted to see how close I could get. I got about 10 shots off and was pretty close to her before she turned and took off, only to stop in a few feet and turn around and look at me again. I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time.
