Walking Around Rancho Delux

I decided to grab my camera and go for a walk around our property it is such a beautiful day not a cloud in the sky.  Since the Forestry advised us that a mountain lion has been spotted close to our house I don't go too far away without taking my gun.  Part of the fun living out in the boonies.  This little .38 isn't going to do much damage against a mountain lion but it does make a lot of noise.

This is my gun, there are many like it but this one is mine.  You know how I know this is my gun my initials are engraved on it. (loosely taken from Full Metal Jacket)

The snow was a lot deeper than I thought.  After walking about 30 feet from the house I took a step and sunk down to my knees.  Boy, talk about a workout walking in that deep snow.

Here are some photos I took walking around our property

This fenced area will one day hold my garden and it's deer proof

It just a couple months the cactus will be in bloom

I love taking taking photos of old pieces of trees and stumps

Here are the piles that the Forestry needs to burn.  They have not been back so I guess the conditions are not right for burning

Here are some more piles and our house in the background

This is the front of our house and then it goes straight up

Until Next Time,
