This might be a beautiful portrait, but it is a very sad one. We did not see The End because it happened in deep sage, but we heard the fawn scream, twice. It was finally over. My heart broke for this mother's loss. I don't know how long it takes for a deer mother to give up and forget, probably as long as it takes for her body to notice the milk isn't needed any more and for the maternal hormones to stop flowing. She was still hanging around when we left a few days later.

Yes, I know there are plenty more baby deer out there and always will be, but it's hard and unsettling to contemplate every time I see something like this. I just remind myself, this is what happens if you also want cute baby bears.
