Went on a spur of the moment camping trip yesterday, have a few pictures to share:
Beginning with the highlight - wild burros!!!!!!!!!!
This small family unit was just chillin' on the side of the road. I guess they are common up here but I've yet to see until yesterday - one day after I changed my avatar to the donkey ears. Hah!
The aspens are already starting to change... apparently all the moisture makes for a bad leaf year.
Campsite overlook:
Sunrise...
Then the clouds rolled in, as you can likely see.
Wildlife spotted but not pictured: A pronghorn (first time seeing one of them, as well!), a brood clutch rafter (???) of adolescent turkeys (like 20 of them!), and a porcupine - the porcupine had perished, but I've still not seen one in the wild. Also, two hawks that were so beautifully synchronistic that I had tears in my eyes. Thanks again, Rocky Mountains!
