Saturday began with John on the roof, re-caulking the windows to stop the wicked winds from blowing in dust and dirt. It was one of those gorgeous blue Colorado skies that can't be beat.
After lunch, we drove east toward the Continental Divide, discovering how much snow remains in the higher elevations. Nonetheless, we persisted and took a hike through the snow fields to see North Clear Creek Falls. Fall we did in the deep snow. :) Tons of fun!
We also saw a beautiful red fox in the snow. Pix to come, as they're on John's camera.
On Sunday, a trip for groceries and pizza rewarded us with another wildlife surprise: Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, the largest wild sheep in North America. They didn't seem to mind at all that we stopped to photograph them; in fact, they seemed pretty bored with the paparazzi. By the way, the reason that the these sheep aren't very large and their horns don't appear very big is because these are ewes, whose horns are much smaller and curve only slightly compared to the bigger rams.
Later in the day, I finished my latest drawings.
All said, not a bad two days. Ten more until our second vaccine. Stay safe out there!
