Photos
I am so very blessed to live where I live. Each one of the headers for this website were created from photos that I took from my deck (it’s almost a 360 wrap around, minus 20 feet).
LOL, I didn’t even have to put my shoes on to get each and every one of these great photos. I use an Olympic Digital Camera with a zoom lens.
Nature is truly abundant and if I can see its abundance by merely looking from my deck, what about the abundance I can’t see?
NOTICE: Every single one of these photos are copyrighted by me. If I find that you have put them on your website, without my permission, you will deal with the karma of that – I am relentless. I will find you.
I am more than happy to share them with acknowledgment and copyright info underneath the picture (c)2003-2009 Laurie J. Brenner, and WITH PERMISSION — in other words, contact me and tell me your planned use, and then I’ll let you know if we’re in resonance.

Another one of those great late afternoons.
This bald eagle stopped by the pond one day and I was in such a hurry to get a photo, this was the only shot I got as it left the pond. Beautiful sky, though, ay? LOL!
Not quite a full moon, 2008. Facing Moonrise.

Wildwind, winter 2008-09. The house a dream built, literally
Our law of attraction dog. He sees you! Story here The Law of Attraction Works for Everything!
This was not taken from the deck, it is our road covered in 2 plus feet of snow during the December, 2009 snowstorm.
He’s trying to read the tag, 101 Dalmations, he thinks he knows the guy, little blurry, 2009.
Eastern fence, winter 2008.
Coyote, winter 2008 crossing the east hill going north.
Taken from the south dining room window looking down at the well house, winter, 2009.
Taken from inside the house through the great room 10′ window, winter 2008, the melt had begun.
Coyote heading toward the little spring in the three oaks, our land, 300-400 feet from the deck on east hill.
Look closely, because the turkey BLEND — there was a flock of at least 50 of them spread out on the hill. I was asking for an experience of abundance that day and I looked out the west window and this was what I saw, they’re everywhere! But they’re kind of hard to see.
Lacey loved to sit in the boat in the pond — LOL, we should have put a fishing pole in her paws!
Grandkids enjoying the pond — sometimes they’d spend hours down there!
Blurry, but a picture of a crane or an heron, not sure which, but the geese who’d taken over the pond were giving him a hard time. 2008.
The mother and the fawns crossing between the pond and the garden, summer, 2009.
The icicles after the storm, south window, early winter morning, 2009.
Red Tail Hawk landed (the same tree he was headed for above).
The turkey dance begins — the mating dances of spring.
And more. At times the males look like little Benedictine monks, LOL. Just beginning the turkey dances.
The mother and father Canadian geese from 2009, babies born on the land. LOL, there was a weasel that came down the creek bed into the pond and ruffled through their nest. A Day later, mother walked off with the babies in tow behind her (there is another pond north of us).
More baby geese.
Neighbor’s house across the hill — has a cute storybook look to it. Built by some folks from LA, younger family, the guy was a Key Grip, allegedly the nephew of William Shatner. But they lived here a year and sold it — probably moved back to LA LA Land. I guess they didn’t like the commute and the dirt on the gee, dirt country roads.
The nest was under the dock.
Baby mastiff back in 2003, LOL! That’s when she could fit her head in the cat door!
The entrance to Wildwind where the Brenners live and dream, winter, 2009.
Another snow picture. And no, Kathy, no quads allowed here. That’s a pine tree covered in snow upon the ridge, LOL!
