We have all kinds of animals and other creatures here in the desert and mountains. I do not have pictures yet of bear or mountain lion but they are here!

As close as we wanted to get - were on a golf cart ride with Sadie.
Quail On Top of Cactus
This is very unusual to see a quail doing this!
Diamondback Rattlesnake!
Almost stepped on it while hiking - was in the brush / weeds to the left. Never saw it - sure heard it! Path is 3 1/2 feet wide & you do not see about 10 - 12 inches of his front or tail!
