My backyard, My frontyard

This isn't the best shot of one of my deer that come to visit me. But I had to share it. I really love where I am living. I just don't really love my house. If I could build on this property, I would be the happiest gal on the planet. If I could only be a little further inland, and experience less fog, although ya'all sometimes are in the fog and I am above it! Now that's pretty awesome.

Every night as I come home, and the gate opens, I look for the deer. Last year we had twins, the cutest you ever saw. So tiny in that big open field. They don't come as close to the house as the larger deer, and I have a nice pic of Annie, my tabby, sitting on a log right near one, and neither seem to mind. It just gives my heart so much joy. This little piece of heaven was truly a God Send. A place to find shelter from life's storms, natural and man-made. My personal refuge.

I leave here everyday to go into Santa Rosa and work a full time job. What I wouldn't do to change that. This is another stepping stone to get myself out there and make that all happen. It's been a year of tears and sorrow, and now is a time for hope and grattitude. I expect I will write much about that through pictures that I hope you will enjoy as much as I enjoy having been able to take them. Not many of my mug, as I am more comfortable on this side of the camera.

OH, and the Bobcat? Yes...this was taken, by me, in my yard. Now, How cool is THAT I tell you? Mo later...
