This picture was taken from my backyard in Blue Ridge Estates looking across Freedom Road just west of the intersection with Powell Road.  It was taken the evening of December 8th.  The two albino deer were frequently in the area for approximately a month.

Albino deer are rare, occurring about once in every 30,000 births, according to facts about deer.net
