More Wildlife in Great Falls VA


Bambi!!
We saw this little guy lying in the grass just a few yards from the walkway. Momma was nowhere to be seen , but we are hoping that she'll be back for her baby soon.

This was at Great Falls National Park. The visitor center called it the Niagra of the South, but I think that's a rather bold claim. It was a pretty place and beside the deer, we also saw a lot of Great Blue Herons. I've never seen so many in one place before!




Grant wasn't as miserable as he looks, he just hasn't been willing to give me a full braces smile.

A wild sight

Or more accurately... a wildlife sighting.
Julia was in her room and caught sight of this little guy in our "swamp."
He was a cutie and posed well.
Thank you, Mr. Turtle for providing material for my 200th post!
(Never thought I'd make it there.)
