WOO HOO!!!! I'm back!
>> Friday, August 15, 2008
I had such an amazingly awesome time out west! Between the farmers' markets and the lakes and the incredible wildlife, my head is spinning. I saw four large states and tons of diverse landscapes... alas, no elk! I did however see wild buffalo and wild horses, antelope, bald eagles, cottontail and jack rabbits, fawns were everywhere because they had a late spring, and even a fox. I don't even know where to start and until I finish developing all the film, here is a sample of what I took digitally. I got tons of great footage too, so I am SUPER excited!
My husband tells me they call this a whistle pig. It does whistle, but I'm not sure what it is... yet!
Like I said, this is a sample so keep checking back for days when I am being lazy and am just gonna post random picts! I start classes on Monday so I may be going back to a lot of science talk too, just cause it helps me study! In sad news though, The Wall Arch at Arches National Park fell. *sniff* It's a shame because it's so beautiful. I am glad no one got hurt.

@ Cheryl- I loved the eagles too. I had seen them lots when I lived out there and was frustrated because I never had my camera!
@ Sealaura- I'm on it!
Hi Mimi - what gorgeous pics! Loved your eagles and all the vistas. That whistle pig sorta looks like a prarie dog - I hope you find out what it is.
Glad you're back and you had a great time.
Dear Mimi,
Wonderful vacation pictures. I am also a wildlife lover! I think you did see a Prairie Dog.. the Eagles are fantastic birds.
Looking forward to more pictures.
The west is always big sky country to me.
Namaste,
