These are California Black Tail Deer - little smaller than mule deer - these particular ones are quite well fed and protected as they live in a very forested area but with too many homes to allow safe hunting in CA.
This is one of two coyotes that I saw on this hillside yes they are the lightest/blond I have ever seen.

That is a rattle snake - a very young one - I came out of a meeting at our church one evening and it was on the front steps - our church has a very rural setting. The deer in the top photo were next to the church parking lot.

Aren't I the savvy shopper? LOL I don't usually brag about saving a buck or two, but I am as pleased as punch with myself right now. I needed a camera bag to carry and protect all my camera gear, so I went to Walmart to check them out. Up until recently, I only had one lens, so the camera just went along on a strap. But even at Walmart's so called low prices, a camera bag, big enough to hold a DSLR, an extra lens and a few extra gadgets and gear, was in the 60-70 dollar range. Which in the scheme of things, isn't allot to protect over a thousand dollars worth of camera, but I just don't have that kind of money right now, however I found the solution. In the sporting goods section, I picked up a shooters bag for under 20 bucks, that has padded pockets inside for extra scopes, pistols etc. and a hard plastic bottom for protection. Then for just a few bucks, I picked up some foam padding (made for seat cushions) from the sewing and material section. Now I can cut the foam to my specific needs. So, not only do I have a bigger and better camera bag, it's custom made to suit my needs, it has more protection than the camera bags on the market, AND I got it for a fraction of the cost of a designer bag :-) You go me! lol
