Really nice looking pictures today, everybody. Moni, I especially enjoyed yours. What a neat building!! Thanks, everybody.

Female elk, in a moment they take out after a coyote...chasing it...

No snow here either. But we do have sunshine, for now anyway. Supposed to get windy and wintery later today. This pic is from a year ago. They are helping themselves to the birds leftovers. Saw a herd of 9 of these lovely creatures quickly move through the yard yesterday afternoon. That explains why the whole feeding area looks licked clean every morning.

I came home tonight to feed the horses, saw they needed water, so I turned it on, went and fed the cat and returned after a couple of minutes to check the water. There were three raccoons in the paddock grabbing up each piece of grain that the horse dropped. They scrambled up a tree and were staring down at me. I got the camera, and when I came back out, two had fled, but one was still there. When the water trough was filled, I turned off the water, went in the house, and heard a noise from where the cat's bowl is. It was this guy: The flash of the camera scared him off, but 10 minutes later I heard noises again. I assumed it was the opossum again but this time it was a jumbo sized raccoon, probably heavier than all three from the paddock put together.
