Woodland Wetlands

   Woodlands surrounding the swamp are equally important.  We stumbled upon a doe and her two fawns, and before she was aware of us, we were able to blend with the forest.  She remained unaware, but the little ones picked up movement, our scent, or some other indication of our presence.  The curious fawns walked cautiously towards us for ten or more yards while we practically held our breath.  We finally turned away, showing ourselves, and the family scampered away.  Their wild nature and naivete was what made the moment special.
