Glad I Brought The Camnera
Finally a clear day, even though it is 22° F, seeing the sun makes up for the frigged temperatures.
Everywhere I go I have been traveling with the new camera we purchased several months ago.
Having to go to town, which is 16 miles away, I knew some beautiful photos would present themselves on this clear, crisp winter day.
The wildlife in this area is abundant.
This region of Upstate New York is known for its White Tail Deer hunting and Turkey hunting.
After viewing the following pictures, I think you will understand why hunting cabins dot the landscape.
If you look very closely, just past he first tree line, you may be able to see a few dark spots in this photo.
The following Photos are of these dark spots.
As I zoomed in, you will see what caught my attention.
White Tail Deer
With a good possibility of coming across another opportunity to snap a few more really cool photos, and in no rush what so ever, I decided to take the less beaten path, which is 2 miles longer, and I would be traveling on a dirt road.
GREAT DECISION
Here is what I ran into about 15 minutes later.
The subject was now around 75 yards out.
In the previous pictures of the White Tail deer, they were over 400 yards out.
I'm very pleased with our new Cannon, Power-Shot, SX530HS camera.
I hope you enjoy these beautiful animals, captured in their natural habitat, as much as I do.
It gives me a thrill every time.
I took many photos, and each one was more beautiful than the previous picture.
You had better love Nature as much as I do, because I could only trash 3 photos.
If you get a little

viewing all of the following photos,
scroll down a little ways and see what else I I ran into.
The next couple of photos captures the reason for this beautiful fellow's name.
WHITE TAIL DEER.
A deer's hearing is similar to humans, although they do pick up higher pitched sounds better.
The advantage they have over us, is the shape of their ear.
The size of the ear, funnels in sound, and as soon as the deer hears the slightest sound they will turn their head in that direction.
This youngster was just born this year.
While still very young they are referred to as a fawn.
These two pictures were taken earlier in the year.
As summer fades into fall the fawn's spots will also fade away.
They will move snow aside with their snot, or will paw at the snow to expose the green vegetation below.
Five minutes down the road more wildlife, TURKEYS.
The brown hump in this picture is a turkey
CAMERA BATTERY DEAD, OH MY.
Had to be a flock of at least 25, no worries they'll be back.

What a different reality from where I am now. Hello from Brazil.
Hello there @discerente from Brazil.
I have recently retired, and feel as though I am living in heaven while still here on earth.
What is the biggest difference that you see?
Thanks for the up-vote and the reply.
Always appreciated! Always humbled!
Well Brazil is very hot and we never have snow. We are the biggest tropical country in the world.

That is some really cool wildlife. My wife would love that. I have to drive on the highways as she spends her time trying to watch the forests for what you see on this walk.
Not sure why I am surprised to see wild turkeys even around here.

To be able to run into something like this on a daily basis is something I never tire of. I'm glad both you and your wife enjoyed.
There is so much to photograph, next time I will bring an extra battery with me. If I would have done so this time I could have taken several other neat pictures of the wild turkeys. When I first spotted them, many were walking single file, parallel to the woods line that encompassed the hay field.
Thank you for the pictures @thebigsweed. What’s all that white stuff? We peddled the boardwalk on Christmas in beach wear. It got down to 72 here today.. BRrrrr
What’s with the spots? Because it’s a baby?
What white stuff, you mean the spots on the fawn.
Okay, rub it in, 72 and BRrrrr.
72 degrees around here would feel like a tropical heat wave.
Howdy sir bigsweed! hey this is a great post, I love these photos. It seems like there is alot of unoccupied forests up there, I thought the area would be full of homes even if they're out in the woods but there looks to be quite a big of open country still unless I'm getting the wrong impression from your pictures. Deer are always beautiful.
