Today Joann went with Sharon to GJ.  I mowed the lawn and edited photos.  It sure looked like it would rain, but just blew.  This evening we headed up on P77.  It really cooled off, which was sooo good.  It had rained a lot up the Big Cimarron, though we can only go past YWAM.  We saw some deer and elk and a hawk.  There is still some smoke rising in the Middle Fork.  It was so refreshing up there.  Sadly heat returns next week.   Nikon Z50II

Smoke haze from the Middle Fork - Gold Mountain Fire

Elk ladies on the edge.  I've wanted to get a critter shot here for years.  Finally, though it's not that great.

Glowing bugs and barb wire.
