View from the front porch of the cabinArriving at our cabin for a rainy-day work weekend, we count ourselves so lucky to have such a wonderful retreat.
View from the back deck on a cloudy evening. Snow drifts are still quite deep!Two pair of geese mating on the beaver pond, then the beaver makes a dramatic appearance as the rain falls heavily.
Antelope herd grazing in the front yardNew shooting gear! Even the drizzly cold weather doesn’t dampen my excitement. Getting prepared for my 2017 horseback elk hunt! Labradar Chronograph and Lead Sled+ make shooting much more fun and setup much less time consuming. Unfortunately, one Barnes round penetrated the steel plate backstop
A few of the early wildflowers in bloom. Pasque flower and buttercup. Due to the rain, I couldn’t get a good picture of the forget-me-nots covering the front yard.
In addition to the usual moose, elk and deer captured in the game camera, we found a few less frequent visitors: a marmot, a goose in flight and a coyote.
Rained all last night and all Wednesday. It’s no hardship with a cozy fire and a good book.
