Working the Grasslands

A trio of mule deer graze the hillsides above Redwood City. Behind them, rising to the clouds are the Santa Cruz Mountains. Beyond the mountains lies the ocean. The land as far as the eye can see, lies within a nature preserve where wildlife and plant life are protected.

 

The deer here are used to viewing humans as nonthreatening and do not scatter at the sight of them. Where I live in the Sierra Nevada Range, hunting is allowed during specific seasons. The deer are wary of people and quickly disperse at the mere sound of them. This is truly a tale of two different environments.
