Today Allen and I went turkey hunting in Sanborn.  We at least saw one turkey running across the road...a hen.  It was a very warm day.  We hiked around a bit up in Hanks at my favorite spot.  Lots of elk sign there and very strong smell of elk.  It then got pretty windy by afternoon, so we didn't hunt anymore, just hung out in the wood.  There's nothing wrong with that.  Praise the Lord!  Nikon P950 Unedited Jpegs

Today is Mother's Day.  We went to church this morning.  This is the first year Joann will not have her mom on mother's day.  We miss both our moms but know they are blissfully happy in heaven.  Thanks to Jesus, we don't grieve as those who have no hope.  Anyway, this afternoon we took off up Hwy 90.  Then we went over to Dave Wood and on into Sanborn.  Very little snow left on top of the Divide Road.  Usually it's still closed this time of year.  We had to stop in Sanborn to let a herd of 30 or so elk cross the road.  We saw a few deer too.  It was a very blessed day!

This evening was another P77 run.  It was good.  We saw lots of deer and elk and a strutting grouse.  It was a warm day in the 70's so I was surprised the critters were out before dark.  The elk especially seemed to be roaming everywhere.  We encountered several groups right on the road.  It was fun!  The main elk meadow had elk all over it.  I'm sure they will soon be displaced by cattle.  Last summer we didn't see elk there all summer due to the cows.  I did quite a bit of black and white photography tonight.  I'm not sure if I like it that much.  It's ok, but God made this world vivid....to use an old term - Technicolor.  But, I'll post a few here anyway.  Nikon Z50II
