    We have a very good producing well, tapping into quite a large aquifer (I think that's what it's called) about 600 feet below the property.

    Thank you Steve for your kind remarks. You have a keen eye to discern what I've planted and placed - to compliment the vegetation that's been here forever. The water bowls are shallow terracotta pot saucers. I refresh them daily, along with the feeders. Being retired, it's become a regular...

    Oh man... I ONLY eat what comes from the marketplace. I'm not man enough (nor desperate enough) to eat what I might kill myself. o_O

    Thank you Edwin! You might be interested to know that my mother's family is from Tupelo, AR. And my father's family is from Dyersburg, TN. They met up in the big city (Memphis) and, voila! Here I am. :ROFLMAO:

    gcole... yes, sir. Absolutely. There are many homes with wells in this area. We do consider water to be a valuable and precious essential, but we have an excellent producing well and the water through our RO system is the best tasting water we've ever had. Cool. Clear. Water. :)

    tenet... Colorado is a beautiful state! We've enjoyed some nice visits there. As for bugs, you're right... very few bugs here. No earthquakes. No mudslides. There have been fires and some areas can flood during monsoon. None of that has been in our area, though. Monsoon is really cool. It...

    Hi Rob... thanks for your comments. The Harris Hawks make it easy for me to photograph, as they hunt my land, just off my patio, regularly for dinner - often bagging a rabbit, of which we have quite a few! And, occasionally, I will feed them (or the coyotes - whoever gets there first) the body...

    Tom... this photo is just a screen grab from an iPhone video my wife shot, while I was tending to a rattler on the back patio just last week. Poor photo quality, but it's an Arizona rattler, just for you! :cool: In our eight years here, I've tended to about 1 rattler per year. These days...

    Andreas.... a neighbor not far from the house has a beautiful house with a B and B type setup (just one room). That would be a great place for you to stay during your visit! :D Come on over!

    A few more critter pics... The havelina and deer I mentioned earlier... This image isn't easy to see well, except in darker viewing environments - blood moon rising east of my house, near Four Peaks All good stuff to enjoy better with binoculars.

    Oh Tom... there ARE rattlers! ;) But not for long. My task it to dispatch them, rather than photograph them. Can't allow them to live where people and pets congregate.

    qwerty.... I'm sure you know your birds far better than I do! You are most assuredly correct. House Finch it is. I'm really just a very novice birder, trying to learn my way around these beautiful birds.

    Lately, I don't travel out to observe wildlife on a very frequent and regular basis. I'm retired, and enjoy being at home much of the time. I do provide regular feeding and water for the birds and wildlife off of my back patio, which is at the edge of the Sonoran National Forest here in...
