Of course you’ll make it :thumbs: How wonderful to get so close to the deers. Here they run like cheetahs as soon as they see me on the road in the distance. Perhaps the American deers have adapted to live close to humans and cities.

Thanks dear ubbyisis - I am hopeful... that things calm down now and I can focus more on photos and crafting and hopefully some traveling!!

The deer, we live by a trail named "The Ice Age Trail" which spans up and down the state of Wisconsin... there are prairie restoration areas where the deer have become quite acclimated to humans, we even have them walking across our yard (caught on our WYZE Cameras). Out of the city, they are not so calm around humans.

Additionally, we have wild turkeys which seem to own the whole area... I saw 23 in the neighbors' yards yesterday, they all met up in the middle of the road!! :eek:

We have a gang of wild turkeys that pass through our neighborhood, too. The sizes waxes and wanes but can get up to 30 or so. They're a menace on the roads because they will. not. move. :lmao: We do see them fly now and then, but they prefer walking (and none too fast, either).

True… but the people here are so much nicer. Strange after eleven years in Florida, it didn’t take long to adjust back to the cold weather. One big advantage of living here now, we are both retired ;)… we don’t have to go outside.

Perfect!

This is incredible. All of our winter fests this year have been ice and sculpture free. Snowmobilers are all bumming.

Whoa! You all take snow sculpture seriously there!

I have seen in prior years they had ice castles on the lake… too warm this year. These sculptures were melting as we attended as it was way above freezing during the day.

Way up north of us they are too… they rely on snowmobiling and other winter activities.
 
Week 7 - February 12-18

Afternoon on the St Pete Pier

Captured with iPhone 12 Pro Max native camera; no edits
Spent five nights in St Pete... caught up with the people we missed on our trip last summer. This was a nice relaxing way to spend an afternoon as our Airbnb was disastrous.
