Lookin out my back door

Well, I'm between projects and have no models to discuss. Morning coffee on the deck and I thought of this post. It seems I've spent most of my life mowing things and several years ago I changed the plan. About 25 years ago I built a house in the middle of 40 acres with an enviromental approach. Here's the front yard this morning. I just had to show everyone.

Beautiful!  I'll have to share my view once I get pics taken.

That is peaceful looking! Any worries with snakes?

 

No poisonous water snakes in Kansas despite popular belief. A few species of rattlesnakes in Kansas but rare in the SE. Copperheads are common in hilly/rocky areas but where humans live most have been removed. Many species of snakes are on the property but in the fifty years I've owned the place and turning over every rock on the place more than once. lol, I've never encountered a venomous snake. The rest of the snakes can just live here as part of the deal of restored wildlife habitat along with all the other things. We don't bother each other, lol!

Well I saw the post and thought it was about John Fogerty LOL! First thing I thought of was CCR but I was wrong.

I really envy you guys living in such beautiful huge and serene surroundings. Where we live in Central Florida is a community of about 81 homes with average sized lots (way under 1/2 acre). We are surrounded by fields and wooded protected areas. We do have amadillos, gators, lots of snakes, bobcats, boar, deer and even black bear. Once in a while a Bald Eagle swings by since they nest by the St. John's River not far away. Rather big Florida Sand Cranes sometimes walk right into to my garage and hang out with me for a short spell. It's funny how they come up to you and just stand there looking at you. I've had them within a couple of feet away for over 20 minutes at a time just chilling by me as I sat having coffee.

We also have a pair of good sized Brown Hawks nesting in the nearby tree line.
