It's good to have water for wildlife. Adrian Bennett has a birdbath that subs as a drinking fountain for Deer, in this case, a big Buck.

This is the time of year for the mating season - the rut - of the Black-tailed Mule Deer. They are bound to get thirsty chasing the Does around!

Thanks to Adrian for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

It's still quite warm when you are a little ways away from the Pacific Ocean. 85 degrees here this afternoon, down from a high of 97 yesterday. Further cooling is forecast with the possibility of some wet stuff late Friday into early Saturday. I hope so!
