I don't know why I find this so fascinating, but we have lots of wild animals that live in our backyard. I guess it's because we live in the city... literally, in the city limits & not in the back woods of the city. We have a very small patch of woods behind our house, but when all the leaves are off the trees, you can see the houses that are behind us. A pack of deer have made home in these woods for years. We see them all of the time in our yard. Today, I spotted a mama & her baby

then another deer came out behind them... not sure if it's the aunt, grandma, uncle... who knows, but they all 3 cooperated rather nicely for this shot

We've had some strange rodents around our house too. The other day this praying mantis (huge by the way) sat on our window seal the entire day.
