The lesson of the Whitetail Fawn

This was taken this past week out the kitchen window at the Pied Piper's house.  Mother and son hanging out looking for ??  The little guy was curious what was going on at the table,  (envelope stuffing for a non profit fund raiser).  But what struck me watching for a while was the use of shade and woods that protected the deer from over exposure to the sun and the use of the background available to keep them as invisible as possible..  You could argue that it is their natural instincts to remain camouflaged to the human eye.  A dappled fawn in dappled sunlight is near invisible. And sunburn is not among the probems white tailed deer have around here!
Sun Screen and Camo paints...we make em!  But not for deer!
