Nice Day For A Hike

Al and I started the day with coffee at the Coffee Tree here in Loveland, then headed out to Bobcat Ridge for a bit of a hike. I love this old, old, dead Plains Cottonwood tree. Can you see it reaching out, gasping "Help... me.." But it's too late. 
Lovely tree. 
Sick humor. 
Sorry.

A pretty ridge across from the parking lot.

There were very, very, few birds up there. But we did come upon a nice little flock of Juncos, harboring a few lovely White-winged Juncos.

I love Juncos. 

 This is their preferred habitat.


This is MY preferred Habitat. 

A beautiful bird.

A Sneaky Wabbit. 

Fringed Sage, a favorite plant of mine. 

A view of Devil's Backbone - see it out there?

A tiny windblown caterpillar. I need to look this baby up.
The End.
