These two siblings were lounging in my backyard just after sunset a few days ago. I live in the middle of a small city of 160,000 people. Wildlife seems quite abundant, with deer visiting almost daily, coyotes patrolling the streets at night and reports of cougars lying in wait for deer at a nearby creek.
The dogwood, now surrounded by bird netting to keep it safe from deer, is still clinging to life. We are in the middle of a heat wave that is threatening to dry up every plant in my garden. The garden is my sanctuary.
Since taking this photo I have seen the fawns many times. Sometimes they are just walking through with their mother, sometimes resting and sometimes playing.
Reflections 
They look remarkably like white tail deer fawns, which prevail in Michigan. And two of them! If I could I would send some of the incredible rain we’ve been getting to refresh your garden (although it looks like we may be heading into a dry spell as well.)

The larger ears and colouring of the adult deer are the easiest ways for me to differentiate between the mule deer and white tail. On Vancouver Island, where I lived until recently, we had black-tail deer which is a subspecies of the mule deer. (according to Google)
Rain would be most welcome!!
