Spring Slam II

We stumbled upon this while wandering in a lonely place. I will admit that I found some satisfaction in knowing that, in a world where so much of the "wild" is carefully "managed", there may still be places, maybe not even that far away, where a large animal whose life has ended can rot and decay and thus provide food and nutrients for smaller beasties and plants.














































Spring Slam

Eeesh! Time MUST fly when you're having fun! And working. And playing. And gardening. And rafting and biking and wandering the desert. Spring has sprung and we have not been missing it. Just too busy enjoying it to have left any sign of it here, until now.

So with minimal explanation and many photos, here's some of what's been going on as the season warms, as flowers bloom, and as creeks flow. And as we have done our best to be out there in the dirt with our dogs.
