Great thread.  

Had two foxes block my car the other as i was trying to pull into the driveway.   One decided to clean the other.  I didnt mind the wait.  Beautiful creatures

Just noticed these two Spotted Doves soaking up some morning sun on the backyard lawn after a frosty Winter's morning.

The dove is sweet but that elephant stepping over the low brick wall,  WHOA!!

Awesome!  Bats are so cool!  We've had a few in the shed at times.

Love that frog.  Out cat Annie was desperately trying to get to something behind a bookshelf the other night.  I just figured it was another crane fly (which she sometimes eats!).  Turns out it was a little frog.  Thankfully I caught it and took it outside before she could mangle it.  This (and the fact the we have the occasional fox, coyote and racoon around here) is exactly why she is an indoor cat.  Other wise she would be a serial killer (birds, rabbits, lizards, frogs, etc) or victim to the fox, coyote or racoon.  She has a real kill or be killed nature... except with humans, and then she is sweet as can be!

Near Placerville, CA in what I sometimes refer to as "Hell Dorado County".  (How hot is here here?  It's hot, damn hot!)

There were here four deer in my front garden.  Sat there in my truck and waited for them to move on.  It can be a real deer highway around here.

Nice pictures of those beauties!  

Shrub trimmers.  We get plenty of them as well.  Keeping the garden fence in repair is a must around here!

In the park where I walk the dogs.  It was about 5-6 feet away from us.  Just sat there, calm as you please, and watched us watching it.
