I actually don't think he realized that his horns were sticking up out of the tall grass...in all the photos that I took, his horns though not always his head, were poking up.
The very hot weather which we are finally having is really bringing the deer down to the water and into the shade of the blue and valley oaks. I have a small deer parade every day followed by an even smaller turkey parade!

Scat pile with fresh deposits on top!

I would swear that I just wrote a whole description but it seems to have disappeared.
This is a pile of scat that I just noticed this week by walking the opposite direction on a familiar path. I have never seen such an accumulation and am not sure who is doing this. This morning the fresh addition was full of fruit, so maybe it is not the otters as I first thought! Will have to keep an eye on this unusual private privy on the bank of Cache Creek and Copsey Creek!

Another Tree in the Creek...actually Cache and Copsey Creeks!

Last week, I found two trees that had fallen in the confluence of Cache and Copsey Creeks in Lower Lake, CA. Since they were still attached to my land, I thought it would be prudent to detach them before the winter rains pulled them and a portion of my land right into the water and on it's way to Yolo County!
Because they were both in deep water, I supervised from my kayak, while Stuart climbed out onto the trees and sawed. Abe held onto the trees with a miracle rope, and kept them from floating away. Quite the operation. My main role other than photography and nudging the trees with the kayak, was to haul a long long rope thru the underbrush overhanging the water, and fling it to Stuart while Abe, who was out of sight, held onto the other end. Whew! I was rewarded with a few delicious ripe blackberries.
