A few days at Donna's, more wildlife pics. Getting ready for a short trip tomorrow.

Donna's house, taken from the street.

A few houses not too far from Donna's are built on ground much less stable than Donna's. The owners of this white house recently found that much of their already-small side yard had slid down the hill:

Picture from below. Great view from their back deck I'll bet.

 

The gravelly area beside the house used to be their terraced side yard

 The experts are still investigating the cause. The owners are concerned, as are nearby residents.

The house is visible from the nice dog walk area just a short drive from Donna's place:

The group of Bighorn Sheep bachelors that welcomed us the first day dropped by again, this time up the hill a bit in the back yard:

The little "woof" you hear is Sergie warning the sheep that they are close enough to his yard.

Here's a very relaxed Sergie after all that guard work:

 

A nice doe visited for a bit, just browsing:

In a previous blog post I showed some pictures of a black (cinnamon colour phase) bear that had been visiting a neighbour's hummingbird feeder. This similar but larger-looking bear came to their yard today, close enough that Cathie was able to get pictures with her cell phone, with just a bit of cropping afterwards:

Peeking over the fence by the truck, decided not to cross there

This is how it got out of the neighbour's yard the other day too

Climbing the handy trellis

 

Just a few seconds and he was over the fence

No travelling today, so no map. Tomorrow Cathie and I are leaving Donna's for a few days, doing a short loop trip to an area we haven't been before.
