Some Excitement

I looked out yesterday morning and saw this fawn in a neighbor's backyard.
We quickly realized that it couldn't figure out how to get back on the other side of the fence.  The poor thing was running around the yard, even whimpering a bit.  Then we saw it's mama.  She was prancing about, on the wrong side of the fence, almost frantic.
At one point the fawn ran through our backyard, trying so hard to find a way out.  The mama deer ran along side the fence but there was really nothing she (or we) could do.  I don't know how the baby found it's way out and to it's mama.  We've kept watch all afternoon, hoping to see mama and fawn together. 
It really was such a picture, though.  To see that mama deer so worked up and concerned for her baby.  God has ordered even the animals to care for their young  How much more then should we.
