Got home a few hours ago from a trip to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, so I'll be doing photo dumps as I review and edit the several hundred pictures I took. Here are a few from the drive to Gunnison via Colorado Hwy 24 to Buena Vista and County Rd 306 through Cottonwood Pass (12,119 ft. elevation).

You look a llttle disheveled.

Views of the Gunnison taken from Hwy 92 as we were driving to the North Rim. Heavy rain on the way back precluded more picture taking.

My black cat, Smudge, not only has his own door; now he has his own rug. Spoiled or what?
I do appreciate clean claws when he comes in, though

Never have I seen anyone using the taxpayer money wasted excercise equipment.

The Spanish built a lot of interesting things here in the SW.
Here in NM they built the Salt Missions.
These are three rather large Churches East of most early settlements which tended to be near the Rio Grande.
At that time they were the locations of three large Native Towns. Now the Indians are gone, and these structures stand in disrepair basically out in the middle of nowhere.

Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument (U.S. National Park Service)

Tucked away in the middle of New Mexico you’ll find Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. Its three distinct sites offer a glimpse into a unique time in history—a time entrenched with cultural borrowing, conflict and struggles. These sites continue to stand as reminders of the Spanish and...

Several times I may have mentioned that I have some of 'everything.'
Such as an Okinawa Hunting License- Tag.
I think that's what it is! I don't read Japanese.
Went to the Hunter Safety Class and this is what they gave me.

Fossilized sea urchin? Cool!

Im sure its a valuable item once we fugure out what it is. I think its a pixie dust dispersal unit.

Wildlife encounter this afternoon. About 2pm my neighbour called to say "There's a big bear walking down your driveway." I went out the bsmt. entrance, knowing my black cat, Smudge, was by the metal shed, and leaving the bsmt. door open in case he wanted to head inside by the shortest route. But he just remained alert until it passed, assured that it wasn't interested in him (or me...) then ran up to his cat door at the front door. Bear ambled unconcernedly right by us about 25' away as if we weren't there and disappeared into the back of the property. This bear is a regular around here and doesn't seem to bother anyone so we don't worry about it much.

There is something relaxing about sitting on the deck and watching the hummingbirds do their thing.
