Another blessed day at church today. It’s very warm still and very smokey. The Ferris, Gold Mountain, and Babylon fires are still raging. And they all send smoke our way. This afternoon we decided to ride over into Sanborn. We saw a few elk and a couple deer. Two calves were in the road and their mothers were across the fence in the fields. We stopped and watched them run up and down the fence. One finally got through but the other didn’t. We finally got tired of waiting and started driving toward him. He took off running up the road and ran about a half mile and finally found an open gate. He was definitely tired after that. Nikon Z50 II
