Wyoming Mountains

There has been so much to be grateful for while living out here in the Big Horn Mountains. Someday I'll create a poem (I worked on one last night around our sizzling campfire). I wonder as I wander with my mouth open in awe as we take our side x side and explore the trails, always finding a river or stream Hank can take a swim in. So, I'll use a good old-fashioned bullet list and of course pictures to share with you about all I've been experiencing these miraculous days with Steve and Hank.

  • Fresh Mountain Air
  • Every night a great night's sleep  Zzzzzz
  • Blacktooth Mountain - to the far right of the pic covered in snow yet.
  • Green meadows where the deer and the antelope play

Our campfire last night


Lost in the clouds as a thundershower moves across the mountains.


Bear and Hank

  • Making new friends whom we are so grateful for!
  • Making memories!
  • Working, cleaning, having fun on the ranch
  • Watching wildlife in the yard
  • Summer wildflowers blooming everywhere
  • Mountain Birds
  • Bluebird-colored skies




Hank retrieving another stick



I'm thinking a Thrush lives in this huge, recycled nest. However, she/he medium sized bird doesn't stand still long enough for me to take a quality picture to look it up. I'm going to keep trying! There are definitely babies in there!






Lots of flowers,
and the daisies should be blooming any day giving me enough for bouquets!
Happy Weekend!

What's In Our Backyard?

 

In our neck of the woods, Steve has wildlife cameras set up here and there on our property. I thought I'd share with you our most recent pictures. The above doe doesn't know she's on camera, or does she? I think she's attempting her best left side profile pic.

!😳!

A snowshoe rabbit

Without the flash of the camera illuminating her eyes, she'd be incognito.

A Bobcat

This whitetail buck is a bit suspicious.

So is this Doe.


Hmmm...


I see all of you.

And many more pics of wolves
that supposedly don't exist in the quantities
 that they actually do around our house.
You should hear them howl in packs.
Beautiful yet creepy.


A fox?

A Hank on the trail of a what?


Freddy Fox Jr. was outside our window last night. 
He's a junior because his dad visits periodically. 
And yes, those are Christmas lights you see. 
No explanations or guilt-ridden reasons why they're still up. 
We just like 'em.
 And so do the Freddies.
