Nature Is Truly Magical: Tiny Deer Fawn Frolics Through A Creek

Many urban people have seen a picture of a deer fawn in a book, but few have had the privilege of seeing one in real life. Sarah recently had the experience, and she recorded it to share. While driving near Colettesville in Caldwell County, North Carolina, a deer and a tiny fawn were playing in shallow water. The fawn was frolicking around and having the time of its life. @saritriago blessed to have seen this beauty on our drive so in love #northcarolina #collettesvillenc #deer ♬ Pretty Little Baby – Connie Francis Seeing nature up close is always a magical moment. Animals are protective of their young, so we should feel privileged when they allow us to get close enough to “share.” In rural areas, sightings are more frequent, but they are often guarded. This deer and her fawn are playful and show no signs of fear or apprehension. Golden retrievers are famous for making friends with just about every animal. It should come as no surprise that they often bring little fawn friends home. One family thought their dog had found a turtle until the fawn stood up. This fawn’s mom was nearby. Image from Wikimedia Commons. Sadie is another golden retriever who tried to adopt a deer fawn. The two animals played and napped together, and at one point, it seemed like the fawn was trying to nurse from Sadie. The fawn’s mom eventually returned to reclaim her. G-Bro and Buttons have a unique relationship. Eleven years ago, Buttons was hit by a car and injured. G-Bro’s human family cared for the young deer and her fawns. G-Bro became the doting uncle and helped during Button’s recovery. Since then, Buttons has always brought her fawns around to meet her best friend. Seeing nature up close is magical. If encountering wild deer, please respect them and use caution. Please share. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Total Awe: “Watching My Daughter See Fireworks For The First Time”

As we get older, we tend to lose our sense of wonder. Luckily, it’s never too late to get it back. And toddlers like the one in this viral video make it even easier. On the 4th of July, Amara Otto and her family went out on the water to celebrate. As you would expect, a fireworks show was the main event. Well, almost everyone expected this, anyway. Amara’s little girl, on the contrary, had no idea what to expect as colorful lights exploded into a million different colors. But as soon as the colorful show began, she could not keep her eyes off the sky… literally! Check out this sweet toddler’s reaction to seeing fireworks for the first time in the video below. @amaraotto3 Core memory. Watching my daughter see fireworks for the first time while sitting on my moms (her grandmas) lap. Happy 4th of July!! ♬ Almost forgot that this was the whole point – Take my Hand Instrumental – AntonioVivald There’s a lot to love about this sweet moment. For one thing, the look on this little girl’s face is priceless! Her eyes couldn’t get any wider with wonder. But the cherry on top is the identical look on her grandma’s face as she holds her. They’re like adorable, shocked twins! Toddler’s Wholesome Reaction to Watching Fireworks Is Melting Hearts “You can see the fireworks going off inside her brain,” a clever person points out in reply to Amara’s video. Other commenters add, “She is a convert to fireworks lover for life” and “Watching the wonder in her eyes is 1000x better than watching the fireworks!” When you have a toddler, there are so many “firsts” you get to experience for the first time all over again. For one Kansas City mom, that included the first time she took her son out in the snow. There’s also the toddler who simply could not handle the wonder of bubbles.

Man Documents His Adorable Journey Of Befriending A Hummingbird

Tommy Callaway had a dream of befriending a hummingbird. Day one began while Tommy was out in his garden. Noticing the hummingbird, he held out his hand, finger extended, and made soft noises to attract the little bird. The bird stayed close, but didn’t touch Tommy. @tgcallaway Day 1 of trying to befriend this hummingbird ♬ original sound – Tommy On days two and three, the bird let Tommy get a little closer. On day four, the little bird got a teensy, tiny bit brave, but just for a second. The bird likes red flowers and took just a bit from Tommy’s hand. On day six, the little bird allowed first contact, reluctantly. Tommy was able to pet the bird’s chest with his finger. Tommy was convinced to continue his attempt at befriending this hummingbird. Day seven saw more hesitant chest rubs. Holding a flower, Tommy watched as the hungry little bird eagerly sipped nectar. On day eight, the hummingbird used its beak to groom Tommy’s cuticle. Day nine, and a helpful comment from a fan let Tommy know that his little hummingbird is a girl. He asked his fans to help him name her, and the suggestions are still rolling in. Tommy selected one of the first suggested names and officially named her Piper on day ten. Piper waits for Tommy every day on the tomato cages. He can pet her more on day eleven, adding some head pets to the usual chest stroking. On day twelve, Piper perched on Tommy’s finger for the first time to eat out of her new feeder. @tgcallaway Day 12 of befriending this hummingbird.. she loves her new feeder! #garden #bird ♬ original sound – Tommy The little hummingbird is beginning to trust Tommy and even seeks him out. Befriending A Hummingbird: A Continuing Journey On day 13, Tommy ordered his little friend a bird bath. Apparently, she has a boyfriend who began exhibiting signs of jealousy. She might be nesting soon. On day 15, she allowed Tommy’s son to pet her. On day 16, Piper wasn’t around, so Tommy gave fans a tour of his extensive garden. Days passed with small steps each day. On day 19, they met a large red dragonfly. Tommy’s fans sent Piper a dainty little perch. She seems to love it. They are on day 23 of this journey. Tommy has successfully befriended the hummingbird and now qualifies as a Disney Princess: Lover of Animals. We don’t write the rules. His fans bestowed him with the title. Follow Tommy on TikTok to watch future installments. Please share this incredible journey of patience. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Dad Shares Hilarious Way His Daughter Is “Making Full Use Of The Pack Of Mustaches She Won At The Arcade”

Any parent who has watched their child win an arcade prize knows the joy it brings. Whether it’s a tiny plastic ring, a feeder goldfish, or a package of fake mustaches, the reaction is the same. It’s the best thing they’ve ever won. And so it was that Matt found himself on the train ride home from the arcade with his funny daughter. @freshestcereal90 has me in stitches lol #travel #fatherdaughter ♬ sonido original – Zona Musical Matt’s daughter won a package of fake mustaches. There was no saving any for a rainy day. His funny daughter wanted to make use of every mustache in the package. She gave herself a horseshoe mustache and used a second for a misplaced chinstrap beard. She wasn’t done, though. The look would not have been complete without matching bushy eyebrows. And, of course, it needed Elvis’s sideburns for the final touch. With her transformation to Mucho Mustacho complete, Matt’s funny daughter settled in to eat her sandwich. Image from TikTok. The young lady had no trouble eating while wearing the extra facial hair, and did not seem to worry about getting crumbs stuck. She grabbed her sandwich and chomped like it was any other, normal day. In a follow-up video, her dad explains, “Mustache Train Girl” wasn’t a vibe. “She is THE vibe.” In the video, she is wielding a paint roller like a professional painter, and it is “just another day.” You can watch that video here. A complete makeover only takes five minutes, but it can be pretty scary for a dad. @freshestcereal90 SHE WAS GOJE FOR FIVE MINUTES!!!!! kids…. #dadsoftiktok #daughter #foryou ♬ original sound – ☆ Matt and his daughter share many father-daughter adventures. If you like this content, follow Matt on TikTok. He is working on a personal fitness journey while raising his daughter and son. We hope they continue having fun together. Please share.
