So I'm bored and thought I would show off some of the critters that wander into my yard on a regular basis


I heard a "bang" outside and looked out but didn't see anything. Then I noticed the garbage bin was knocked over, it was pouring out and soooo windy so I thought the wind did it, it was 4 in the afternoon, looked out my bedroom window a bit later into the backyard and seen Mama and her babies having some supper.....





Hubby was BBQing one day, and we were talking through the screen door when he was like "HOLY CRAP, go lok out our bedroom window" and here was this bull...again it was raining.




I was cleaning my bedroom one day and just happened to look out the window and seen this precious little baby, my heart broke every time I seen him since his Mama got shot, he was left to fend for himself



This is a bad picture but I didn't take it
This fox actualy barked at us because we were standing on the deck....brave little thing


This guy was actually first seen basking on our front deck, LOL he hung around for a few days.


My precious little squirrel who hung around all winter, I used to make him PB sandwiches





And this bear was just too funny, I was laying on the couch with my youngest son watching Mickey Mouse and the dogs kept growling and barking out the window.....so I looked out and seen this beauty. I think he thought I couldn't see him....



I had the wrong settings set on the camera so this pic is crappy but I had just scooped the litter boxes and set them outside on the deck waiting to take them to the garbage bin when Craig looked out and this guy was just about ready to tear into the bags....I ran for the camera and he ran for the trees, this is the only pic I got before he ran off



The boys were skateboarding last Summer on the road when this young cow stepped out...I didn't have time to zoom in, nothing before a car came and scared her away.

Wow! That is awesome. Moose are about the most awkward looking creatures, aren't they?
The best we have is deer who sometimes hang out by the road at night and there are a few turkeys that I see every once in a while down the road.

I think your vistors relatives live at my house, except the snake and raccoon. We have a Mama bear, she loves to sit under our neighbours apples trees around 11 at night.

these were in my driveway



The bear scratched the car when hubby parked it beside the garbage bin




We have moose and deer that run up and down the street occcasionally eating an apple or two. We have a Mama fox I think she is beautiful, but not thrill she eat the feral cats.

Yah it's awesome....

I have a pet snake so he obviously didn't bother me
My snake's tank is right beside my side of the bed so I can watch her all night.

They're so big! These guys are funny because they hang out at the same spot by the road all the time. Which is nice because you know to be careful when driving. I was headed out to work one morning and the biggest one had decided to "strut his stuff" in the middle of the road. He had 5 or 6 cars waiting for him to move along...

Great pictures. I could deal with them all, but the snake. There isn't room in the same acre of land for me and a snake.
We have bears, coons, possums, deer, bobcats, squirrels, coyotes, and heaven only knows what else. You are brave to be taking their picures.

Wonderful pictures, thank you so much for sharing! It makes my neighborhood feel so boring. All I have are drunk college students.
Not nearly as photogenic.

Absolutely beautiful!!!
My Mom has a lot of similar "friends" around her home as well and she's always calling me and telling me who's in her yard now.

LOL you guys are so funny


I usually take their pics from my bedroom or kitchen window so I'm safe...I do however go outside with them, I like to see how close I can get before they run away
