Common Enchantments

new addition

We had a new visitor to the woods behind the house this morning.  This  fawn is weeks younger than the first two that we saw.   It is so small that we think it might only be 2 weeks old.   It never came out of the woods, just walked away to hide from me.

Mary Oliver has the words....
"This is the wish that the deer would not lift their heads and leap away, leaving me here alone.
This is the wish to touch their face, their brown wrists, to sing some sparkling poem into the fold of their ears, 
Then walk with them,
over the hills
over the hills
and with them into the impossible trees."


I will be hosting Tiny Tuesday for August.  I have come up with a plan for the challenge and have it posted in the challenges.    Have fun with it!!
