    Thanks - I woke up went on the back patio and tried to capture the mood. Sometimes there is mist & fog, other times there is morning and sunset light, sometimes it just flat & grey.

    It does have that feel - thank goodness the local tribes are more interested in taking my money at the casinos! :D

    Reminds me of the Wolfman movie...

    But really, Great photo!

    Great backyard too. I've loved my natural backyard view like that to, kind-of. I live in the heart of a city but you'd never know it looking out the back yard. I have about 100 or more Cedar Waxwings this past week and for three more probably eating mulberries over my drive-way. I swear I think I live at a bird sky intersection. We see every kind of bird all the time. Hummers have yet to be seen yet. Should be anyday now.

    It's great isn't it.;)
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    I see deer regularly right at my fence line.

    A roadrunner used to hop our fence, hunt snail in our backyard and to get inside the shells he would forcibly fling them down on our concrete patio...would leave a mess - my wife hated that bird, but I thought it was way cool.

    Neighbor had a 6 ft rattle snake get caught in his chicken wire fence - we all have had to put up fencing to keep the hated rabbits out - dangburn critters kill the lawns and eat the plants.

    Had some scorpions camp out by my back door - must have liked the heat coming from the kitchen.

    Hawks perch on my fence looking for rabbits (yes!).

    Coyote run the fence lines looking for easy pickings - for a while I had a 6 oclock Charlie coyote run my fence line like clockwork at 6pm every night.

    I get a pretty wide variety facing the Preserve...

    We always look around for hawks. It's amazing how many are here in the city.

    Not bad, eh for.....San Diego....:D

    There are restrictions though for houses that face the preserve...some folks have lowered their fence lines into the easements and have planted fruit trees...put in gazeebos...that's a no-no....its all about nature.

    Lots of trails for mountain bikes, hikers, joggers...there's even a stable close by and folks can rent horses to ride the trails.

    I can sit for hours on my back porch and just enjoy the view..with some smooth (and respectfully quiet) tunes playing.
