enough already

monday, may 24

once more, we woke up to snow.

again!

it was only an inch or so

but still, it is getting really old.

we understand that the weather changes hour to hour throughout the day in this area.

but we are ready for it to change from warm to warmer.

when i opened the door this is what i saw

we are pretty sure they are bird prints.  whatever it was, it had been under the trailer, probably keeping warm and must have left when we got up and started moving around.

there was a big herd of bison just outside the fence to the campground.  we were running late, so these pictures were taken as we drove by.  it was a beautiful sight to see all the brown bison against the white snow.

i was able to get a baby by itself.  usually there is an adult or two guarding them and standing between the baby and the vehicle.  this one looks like he was crying for his mom.

i wasn't able to get pictures, but i also saw -

- a moose running thru the snow

- a small herd (@6) of pronghorn antelope standing in the snow looking at us as we drove by. 

- a coyote pouncing on some kind of small animal.  it was something out of a national geographic movie.

he was staring down at the ground and then jumping on it.

- hundreds of birds on the road.  as we drove down the road they would fly out of the way in all directions.

we were told they were after the worms that crawl up out of the soggy ground to the road. it went on for a few miles.

so i guess i can't complain about the cold and snow.  we would not have seen the beautiful animals and scenery otherwise.

i am still tired of it anyway.
