I will need to get my carmera out and snap a few. I had 10 deer in my front and side yards having breakfast on my plants.
Nice picture.

nice pics boreal, looks like my kind of backyard, or front, for that matter. I don't have one here in my apartment, but I shot this at my father's house a couple summers ago...

When we first moved into our house about 5 yrs ago we used to have deer all of the time. We had a nice little bunch that included a 8 point buck. We would leave apples on the edge of the woods to help bring them in closer. The back of our land is conservation land so it is free of hunters. But about three years ago we started getting fisher cats. If you don't know what a fisher cat is it is a vicious little critter that resembles a badger with very powerful claws. It knocks over it's prey and with one swoop 'guts' it with it's claws. We lost our house cat to one of them. She escaped from the house and we didn't find much of her afterwards. They typically hunt fox, rabbits, raccoons and other small prey but have been known to take down a deer or at least a fawn. I came face to face with one about two years ago when I went to put the trash out on the curb. I clanged the trash lids and it ran away but not before scaring the crap out of me.

Recently we have spotted a blue heron flying over the neighborhood. Come to find out one of our neighbors has a koy pond in their backyard and the blue heron was feasting on their fish in the afternoon. They have since put up some screens to close the buffet but he keeps flying overhead. Quite impressive, it has about an 8 foot wingspan and very long legs. I love nature. I can't imagine living in the city and not seeing stuff like this.

I am lucky enough to live on one of the last of the old "quarter acre blocks" on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.
These guys are Sulphur Crested Cockatoo's. They are more common at the moment as we are undergoing drought conditions and they flock to the coast were food and water is more plentiful. I do my bit by supplying bird seed, and they do their bit by cheering up my world. They really are the clowns of the parrot world. They become quite tame, and if kept in captivity, they are good talkers. I hope this novelty is not enough to try and keep these majestic birds locked up. To see a flock squawking, preening and prancing is enough brighten up anyones day.

Well...Laurie Noack was in my backyard, at one point.

**AuNatural** · February 5th, 2007, 10:06 PM

That is a tough shot to follow, but I will try.

This was in my neighborhood. Snow and Ice in Texas. I didn't move this far south for ice and snow.

1) Ice on Barbed Wire

2) More Ice on Barbed Wire

3) This one is actually at the Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Ft. Worth.

I think I like Nikonglass' backyard better

I had a gingerchick in my baby pool of milk once, but she got too soft and just kinda broke up and went away. So, I cant throw pool parties anymore.

**Bravo** · February 11th, 2007, 10:00 PM

Playing with my Christmas present at Lake Proctor, about
30 minutes from the house unless the roads are icy.

Well, bad news here no more heavy bag.
I had a rough day at school and came home to let out my anger.
I lost my boxing gloves so I hit bare.
I was hitting and hitting like I normally do.
Knuckles were bleeding no biggie.
I hit with this 1 2 combo and with my right I struck the bag kinda off at a downward angle near this hard patch of sand or whatever is inside. It felt like a brick.
Hurt my hand real bad, but that wasnt the worst.
As I was quietly in pain I heard my mom say stop hitting the bag.
I said why and she said she saw the walls shaking, and she was asleep on the couch and it vibrations of the floor woke her up.
The heavy bag is on one of the supporting beams or the house and when I hit it that hard it shook the whole foundation of the house and scared my mom and it would have me too if I had noticed.
Heavy bag covered in blood I took it down.

I think I can try weighted squats with it and Ill think of some other things but no more heavy bag, weak ass foundation and I got busted up hands which were bleeding so much I needed gauze. and I got baking class on Wed.
