Last fall, Dan and his father spotted this unknown creature in a hay field behind our machine shed. It was first thought that one of the goats had escaped her premises. Upon a closer look they discovered it to be an albino deer, a protected albino deer. It is illegal to shoot him. A few in the neighborhood have been tracking his move. This winter, with the mass amounts of snow, he was harder to spot. However, this spring, as the grass has grown green, this unique fella is easy to see as he sticks out like a sore thumb. Dex did a little editing of this photo, taken by one of the neighbors mounted motion cameras here on the farm. I thought I would share.

Wow, that's really neat! I have never seen an albino deer...and we have a LOT of them around here. God's creation is always so fascinating. :)
