I surprised a whitetail deer fawn a few hours ago on my lunchtime walk. It jumped into a wire fence a couple of times before I realized what was happening and told it to stop and calm down (hunters will tell you that whitetail deer will freeze if you talk to them). We looked at each other for a while then it nibbled some grass and wandered off into the woods.

Sunday my wife and I found our first Chicken Mushroom. An enormous thing. I've never found or eaten one before. It smells like mushroom, but tastes oddly like chicken. I'm gradually learning about the best edible mushrooms in our area. It has been a banner year for chanterelles.

Videos and such are nice, but don't forget to get out there and experience nature.
