Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam and the DEER
and the ANTELOPE
...uhm… lay?
These antelope were curious about us this morning on our way to town. Sorry, not the best focus.
Rick wants to go on safari sometime over the next few days (maybe tomorrow) and try and get slow motion of them running. Hopefully away from him!
The deer photo was taken last night on our drive around Sand Creek. We had a deer right outside our window this morning at 6:00 a.m. and then watched it track through our now open space but no photo of that one. I would never have known it was there except for eBay. She was not on the counter waiting for her breakfast when I got up and I panicked thinking we had left her on the porch last night. When I pulled the curtains open I saw her on the windowsill staring fixedly at something. I looked where she was looking and she was having a stare-down with a deer! Too funny. They were making eye contact.
We have only ever seen deer that near to the cabin once before. So, a good way to start the day. Plus, we finally had one Stellar Jay visit. We normally have a lot but for some reason they have not been around this year.
Here are some shots of the strange landscape on our way in to town. I think the rock formations are sandstone but I’m not sure.
This is Chimney Rock. It looks different from the side but I’ll show you that view at another time. The sky was beautiful today.
The following photos were taken while traveling through Chimney Rock Ranch. It’s eerie. Very much like the Badlands of South Dakota.
