In late summer, there is always a lot more wildlife out and about in the Sierra Foothills. Over the past few weeks, it has been like an Encyclopedia entry on "animals of the woodland"- I have seen a family of raccoons, opossums, and foxes, along with the usual residents. Someone even saw a bear while we were down at the river!
Deer are always around, but I have seen more this year than ever before. When I was taking some photos for the shop, I heard a rustling in the nearby trees, and this deer popped his head up and spotted me. Normally, deer run away at the first sight of a person, but this young buck actually walked towards me! I was talking to him and he seemed as tame as a pet.... he just started eating some fallen apples right behind me. I even managed to set up a shot for my Etsy listing and capture him in it!
I felt totally like Snow White.
Of course, we can't forget the most important animals in my life: the cats! Zazou leaped on this rock as the self-timer was going off, so he got into a listing, too.
Mrrrow!
amazing background shots, seeing a deer in my back yard would brighten any day. nice to have it while you work!

Looks like the perfect life!
Hey, Sasha- I need your advice and words of wisdom about making the change from corporate life to being an independent, self-employed gal.
Could you send me an email at anaisabine AT aol DOT com? I can't get into details here, but I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks so much,
'tine
And if you feel you'd rather not send me an email, that's cool, too!
