Nature at its finest



Winter is sometimes dreary and the sunny days are few and far between. With the fog and cold it is nice to have a quick escape to the ranch in hopes of finding the sun shining and the wildlife abundant.

Ranch photos

I came across a bobcat! This is called 'goat mountain'
A vernal pool
My first calf of 2008 - she needs a name!
cows grazing on the emerging grass under a canopy of oaks
Miss Braford... she is old as the hills - but a sweetheart!
