I can’t resist Pronghorn fawns, well maybe I can, but I don’t want to and won’t! I saw three fawns close together yesterday on Antelope Island State Park and they put me into cuteness overload.<\/p>\n

The Pronghorn fawns are a couple of weeks old now and still a bit timid but these little babies are curious about the world around them too.<\/p>\n

This doe was keeping an eye on the little ones even while she nibbled on the grasses. There were two other does in the area that were just a bit further away.<\/p>\n

Then two of the fawns decided to make a break for it from the shade of a sagebrush and dashed across the dried up cheatgrass towards the does.<\/p>\n

Then the third Pronghorn<\/span><\/a> fawn followed after them and gave me this wonderful pose right in front of two blooming Wand Mulleins.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
