The other day I finally caught these "gamboling" fawns on the camera..Not easy though, they were movin' pretty fast and I could never get 'em both in the same frame at the same time. (in focus anyway).
Here are the better pics of the bunch..
Jumpin' for joy! (excuse the anthropomorphism applied to the pictures!)

What to do next, It's thinkin'..

OK ready to go...

Here it goes.. (too bad I'm gettin' old and slow! The rock is in great focus. The fawns, not so much!) Not enough depth of field with the fast shutter speed to get both fawns.

The other one gives me a nice pose!

Back to the second fawn... Call it "Twinkle Toes"? ...

Time for a quick energy boost!

I tried to get too close and they left the scene.. To much landscapin' to get a shot of them runnin' up the hill!
