Enjoy the beauty, peace and tranquility of the Lincoln National Forest
 
A beautiful doe standing motionless in the forests of Timberon hoping that we weren't there to harm and some locals out enjoying their afternoon. I asked if I could take a picture of them since I thought this looked like incredible fun. The the gentleman held up the big elk horn and said look what we found today! What a great way to spend a day!
 
Oryx that we found in the wild when we came into the subdivision from the south - incredibly stunning!! The first time we visited Timberon we entered through the south entrance which winds through the military range which is where the orxy were. This is quite the journey with signs posted along the way warning you not to leave the road! We then journeyed through some old dry river beds before winding our way into Timberon. I am glad now we came in this way or I still would have yet to see an oryx in the wild! Of course there is a much quicker way into Timberon if you just stick to the main road! But what fun would that be?!
 
A beautiful local checking us out and a few trying to scurry away from us. I once had someone email me telling me I was a disgrace for setting up plastic deer and taking pictures of them along with the oryx that were from Africa. I sent him a few links regarding the area and I received a very nice email in return! He was a native of New Mexico who had no idea what was in his own back yard but was off to see it!
 
A clutter of homes in Timberon and more locals that didn't want anything to do with us in the northeast part of the subdivision.
 
A few horses that call Timberon home and more locals - these one's didn't seem to mind me taking their pictures!
 
Of course I couldn't forget all of our golf enthusiasts ~ two good views of the course!
