A nice sunrise at Fort Sagebrush

A trip to the dump this afternoon, 5.5 miles from my home via mostly dirt roads. The upper view is looking east at 9,396' Sonoma Peak (left of center). The lower view is south along Grass Valley to 9,754' Mount Tobin. Both views were taken a hundred yards from each other.

A little fresh snow. a few clouds, and a tiny bit of sun to decorate Maxwell (elev 8,704’) and Pine Creek. A nice start to the morning.

Yes, they hang around when the quail are back. Good eye!

As an old boy in Southern Oregon once said… nothing wiggles like a sack of cats on the way to the river. While I would not do that, I have no qualms about running the damn things off.

It is incredible how many birds get killed by cats. They do have their place killing mice and rats though.

At my mom's house. These are residential deer that live among the houses on the west side of Carson City. Very tolerant of people. Why this one has not shed it's rack, seems late, but the one behind has.

As of two weeks ago, we had a few mule deer bucks that had not shed. It seems unusually late in the year to still have their racks.

Nice shot
