A snake in the pool . This is is why I’m always careful when working around the pool, especially when opening it.

In 2005 I came across a large snapping turtle in my front yard. One word of caution. They are FAST and onery. Keep a safe distance.

I opened up the picnic umbrella and found this little guy.

Every once in a while we get a robin’s nest.  This one was from July 2014. I had a lot of Foxgrape on the pool fence and the birds would build nests there

Dec 2017 – While walking through my woods, I got a picture of these two bucks and a doe. One buck is obvious but can you see the second?

This buck was hanging around last year. Our neighbor feeds the deer. I’m not talking a handful of feed. I’m talking a pallet or two. We have a herd of about 20 or so.

This buck was in my front yard in October 2016

Last May (2016), my son and I found a newborn fawn next to a Norway Maple alongside the driveway. The first thing to remember is do NOT touch the fawn or ‘try to help’. The Doe is around  somewhere and will tend to the fawn as soon as necessary assuming you are out of the way.
