We allowed a Graduate Research Assistant to place a camera on our property this past winter. He wanted to study what wildlife may be in this area. They did it last year and plan to do it again next year too. He was able to get pictures of several things. These are pictures of some of the animals that he found. He did not get pictures of the many others that we have seen or taken pictures of ourselves. We have also seen: deer, beaver, groundhog, muskrat, geese, blue heron, mallard ducks, fox, squirrel, hawk, owl and many different varieties of birds. This beats the city any day!

One of My Favorite Photos from 2008

Fawn in our Pasture

One of my passions is photography. I have always wanted to work as a photographer or at least have pictures published. Does this count as published? I will start sharing the photos that I feel are worth sharing. I have many good ones that may not upload because of my dial-up service, but I want to share what I can. This photo of the baby deer is one I love. My husband and son noticed two deer leaping across the pasture as they were walking down to our pond. On the way, my son almost stepped on this little guy who was doing what his mother told him to do. They hollered for me to get the camera and we captured a few shots of him before we left him alone. He was gone later, so we know his mom came back and let him get up. I love the wildlife on our property here in upstate New York.
