Elk Watching

About this same time each year elk come down from the

mountain and winter in pastures in the valley.

We've been watching for them and they

arrived yesterday! We counted 13 big bulls with

huge racks of antlers along with 30 cows.

The bulls are magnificent and majestic.

We love to watch them throughout the winter.

Needless to say, we love nature…the mountains,

the wildlife and the peace of the outdoors.

The View...

The view to the west of our home.

On a clear day we can see all the way to the freeway.

Ducks On Ice!

When Marty stands on the deck and calls the ducks

that are by the small opeing in the ice...they come

arunnin'! He'll quake like a duck over and over until

they are up on the yard and he frisbee's slices of bread

out to them. They come back two or three times a day

for him to feed them. Sometimes they just sit out

snow waiting for some food to be thrown to them.

Several families around the pond feed the ducks and

seagulls throughout the winter months.

It's a morning ritual for Marty and the ducks.

One of our favorite canyons!
