My back yard

[sn-e3]

For the past three days I have had a herd of Elk in my lower field. the herd size veries from 28 to 42 depending on how many are out in the open and how many are over the bank in the river. I've taken alot of pictures of them but I have to wait for bernidette to help me post them. I live in a real paridise on earth. I'm so Blessed

Besides: "Blessed", you're are also lucky.
Not many get to live next to, around or on a SANE mountain.
Usually, most such pretty-damn-wild and non-predictable.

I checked-out your profile.

You check-out your location's Italian translation.

Neil thats so cool. I'm not sure if thats what the name Montesano really means but I sure do like the Italian translation.

Chris, you live in a beautiful area. I think the wilderness is the best cure for what ails most people but many have no ready access.

Chris,
As with many European words, most are said ass-backwards to English.

Thus, and since: "Monte" as in Monte Casino translates as mountain and;
"Sano" means sane in Italian,...you actually live on Sane Mountain.
Good for you. I too wish that lived in some sane place?

At 5:15 they invaded my place again. My dogs announced their arrivel. My dogs are very brave inside the house, but when I let them out front and they tore off around the corner of the house and came face to face with a couple of cow elk and they beat a hasty retreat back to me with tails between their legs. I guess you could say my dogs are all bark and no bite. I would say that the Elk give all the clover I planted last year two houves up.

That is just so neat that you get to live in such a beautiful place.

We got elk here, too, Chris, but i haven't seen any real up close. See lots of their scat though.
We got snow down here, too, had 12" fall in one night. I was skiing in my back yard for days. My wife had to put chains on coming up the hill, good thing I had taught her how.

Now I'm goig to teach you how to post pictures:
You have to go to photobucket.com and establish an account (its free) this is easy and its easy to upload your pictures there.

When you upload your pictures there, you'll see a "share" button by every picture. Click this and then copy the link from where it says "or just copy the link" to here where you post---just put the link right in the post by itself (its an incredibly long 3 line thing)

bingo--there you go.. here's one of the snow my house got last week (its gone now)
