On the First Day of Autumn

My love pointed out to me ...

... three deer foraging - a doe and her twin fawns. It is the first we've seen of the deer for a couple months.
There was a noticeable difference in size in the fawns which I wondered about.

You can really see it here. Then I noticed something about the shoulder of the smaller one.

An injury must have slowed its growth.

Autumn began rather chilly at 44° with steam coming off the pond.

And long morning shadows.

I'm ready for fall - just not the season which follows it.
