Surprise at the River

 On a trip to the river to visit with my son and check out

his new campsite we had quite a surprise

I was looking across the river and saw a small doe looking back

I called my son and he said oh yeah! it's tame

and I thought oh yeah.. sure it is

She came down to the water

and fed along the shore line

not at all concerned about me across the water taking picture after picture

Then....  she started out into the water

There were some people floating down stream and she was

heading straight for them

It was like she wanted to greet them

and that is exactly what she did... letting them pet her

She was not delayed from coming my way for long

She got to the little dam my grand daughter and daddy had made

walking around it and coming on strong

We were all in awe

My  grandson was first on the scene

and then I handed the camera off to get in on the fun

We all had lots of ideas about why she so friendly, but

really have no idea why...  but we were all thankful to be up close with this pretty little doe

The dog even got in on it

She left and walked down stream

A little later I saw a couple with her

feeding her cucumbers and carrots

She was liking that very much
