Church this morning and then lunch at Wendy's.  It was rainy this morning.  This afternoon Joann wanted to watch the Broncos and I took off up to Bostwick around 4:30 or so.  Surprisingly I did not see a single deer.  That's rare.  They must be doing a lot more hunting on the private land up there than they used to.  All I saw to photograph were some nice cottonwoods.  Panasonic G97

"Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God’s handwriting—a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing."  Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today Joann went with Sharon to Grand Junction.  After all the rain, hiking was out due to mud. So, I took off to the Ridgway area.  The mountains were fantastic with the new snow. As for wildlife, I only saw a few deer and some turkeys. I saw lots and lots of people though. That highway is no fun anymore. I avoid it as much as possible. I came back over Log Hill. It was a pot hole mess. It was a good day. Nikon Z50 II.

Well, as of today I've made 72 trips around the sun.  That’s a bit over 42 billion miles. Feels like far!  haha  It was a very drippy day.  We got 1.22" of rain today.  Unfortunately places in southern Colorado and New Mexico are flooding.  Since there was only a brief window to get out and take a walk, this photo is from 2019 on a ride we took up by Gunnison and dropped down into Almont.  Canon 70D
