All the rain has made the area a veritable garden with loads of wildflowers. This next week would be great for a short daytrip if you were so inclined.
There are lots of columbine.
I cannot seem to drive past a field of these beauties without firing off a shot or two.
We saw a family of geese -
And a beaver.
And a young man trying to talk a fish onto his hook at another beaver pond.
A few head of cattle graze peacefully in a meadow with the evidence of the Haymen fire in the background.
Speaking of the fire – there is a evidence that the forest is recovering – just like forests have done for millennium.
. . . and we saw a bear – running across the road.
This is a picture of the road where the bear ran across.
No! There is no bear in the picture – he was long gone by the time I raised my camera from my lap and fired off a shot!
If you are thinking about harvesting and saving seeds from your heritage vegetables I highly recommend you add Seed To Seedby Susan Ashworth to your collection. Park County Library found a copy for me in the front range library system and after reading through it I ordered a copy from Amazon and also requested that Park County Library carry it for our local people. They just informed me that their new copy is in stock at the top of Crow hill. Thanks park County Library!
This tall, black, ominous cloud looked like it could be a frog drowner but it went north of where I was. I’ll bet they noticed it in the Conifer Mountain area!
That is just a rain shaft.
