For my last post from the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge in January 2017, the focus is on the beautiful, semi-wild landscapes (and a few deer that I spotted as well!).
You can see the Raptors (including a Bald Eagle!) here and the rest of the beautiful birds here.
Deer!

And a hope tree that has lost all its blossoms.'
~~Mark Twain
"I don't ask for the meaning of the song of a bird
or the rising of the sun on a misty morning.
There they are, and they are beautiful."
~~Pete Hamill
"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere they can be alone, quiet with the Heavens, nature, and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be."
~~ Anne Frank
One last, less-poetic note before I go...
In one of my previous posts from October, I shared this photo of some pheasants I saw.
Understandably, the January landscape is a bit different from October, but this photo really illustrated it for me. Below is a photo of the same little "alley" as seen above. But the reeds have all died back and the ground is much greener. Ahhh, nature.
