First, to answer tz_garden's question, I really don't know when the fawns are born. Some are later, some are earlier. I would think May. We didn't see any fawns last year. Not fawns with spots, I mean. They are called a fawn for a year. Then, they are called yearlings.
Here is an archived fawn photo! August, 2019!
We had a lovely time! He climbed a tree.
We walked to the back 40, then skirted the wetland. Here are the rocks where the grandies would play!
Silly cat. He saw Dratted Red Squirrel (DRS) checked under the rock for it, Clever DRS did a switch back. Then Cinn tried to get into a rock cave. Silly cat.
He likes fallen tree trunks.

We found two more garter snakes trying to get warm. They are sitting in the sun trying to absorb some energy. The sun was flitting.
Can you see them?

Wow, that snake looks scary. Especially the one where it's mouth is wide open. I'm impressed you had the courage to get so close. I don't think I would have dared to.

That's a lovely snake - and today I learned that Garter Snakes are one of the 30% of snake species that produce live young. YAM xx
Cool sightings of the snake, the deer and Cinnamon climbing the tree. Wishing you a great day and a happy new week!
Cinn seems like such a fun cat, but ti’s probably a very good thing that he has a place to roam and get his beans out, as it were.
Susie looks like she means business.
Ah, curiosity killed the cat, as they say. I'm glad Cinnamon quit while ahead! Loved the video!
Cinny is brave to go into a little cave. Ms. Snake is cranky for sure. Be careful out there! Linda in Kansas
What a charming and peaceful walk—Cinnamon’s adventures always bring a smile. From fawn memories to curious cats and sun-loving snakes, it's like a little nature story unfolding step by step. Such a gentle, lovely glimpse into your world.
Thank you for caring for nature and sharing it all with us. Jenn. Aloha
That walk looked like cat heaven.
I am not surprised that garter snakes may be more agressive when pregnant. I think it is true of many species.
...the trees growing on top of the rocks reminds me of the Adirondacks.
I like garter snakes but we rarely see them here.
Cinnamon is a beautiful cat. The snake, not so much.
You're like me -- you name them all. I'll pass on the snake, too!
