Awww what a story and what a picture. It proves again, that animals have feelings of love and compassion. We also know that all animals live in constant fear, even if none exist, are we humans not the lucky ones.
I wonder what has made her shy towards humans (not a bad thing), but she obviously still remembers your kindness, as she returns and shows her young to you.
I say it again, you are blessed to live where you live. I have always dreamed of living in a place like that and it is wonderful that I have met a person who lives my dream

CJ,
Even though we raised Little Girl, with tender Loving Care, she was never caged, or ever in a pen.
She lived in, and grazed in the forest, as the rest of the deer. Naturally as she matured she answered the call of the wild,
and now has returned very successfully to her true habitat, and natural fear.

I think it is so special, because it is like nothing I have ever seen, or be likely to ever see, here in Australia…

that’s very touching. kind of reminds me of the story of christian the lion. i saw it on youtube. anyways, this is a rare moment captured very well. i like the compressed framing. really putting the viewer in the tenderness of the moment.
i like it even more because i once had a dog like that! good times.
