BrianMPLS .. no you don’t need to point out the 10 kinds of people.
I do love the photo although I’m glad for the explanation as 8 “fawns” didn’t seem quite right.. they’re too big for fawns. I love coming late to the party, everyone else does the hard research for me

BAMBI OVERLOAD!!!

Great timing and great photo, by the way!

Thanks Jewels… um, if I remember right, though, I think it’s actually a kevlar kimono. (Honestly, it’s been a while since I checked.)

Sorry Theo, apologies. I kiss the hem of your robe (metaphorically). All kudos to you for the greatness of “Aloof Duck”.

BTW, just on the collective nouns thing, wouldn’t it be easier if we replaced them all with “bunch”…cf: “Hey look, a bunch of Indian Spotted, otherwise known as Chital, Deer! Check it out!”

That NEVER happens, AA!

I’ve learned to be forgiving of non-readers, but still appreciate those who do read all the way through before posting.

What a good shot! Nice work, photographer.

Reminds me of being a kid on a trip with my dad, and seeing the occasional doe with a fawn.

Both are collective referred to as “BUNNIE!!” when I spot them while friends drive us through the hillcountry.

Carrie: I thought you were joking about it being posed, becasue when the picture first came up, the mom and dad totally looked like relly good cement yard-deer. But baby looks so real you can extrapolate that m&d are, too….

(and yes, everybody, they’re actually Chital)
