SUNDAY MAY 31, 2026 ATV RIDE - PART TWO.

For this series I parked the ATV and wandered around the meadow taking in the views and the little critters.

A panorama view of the whole area.

Zoomed in on Cawston.


Looking across the valley.  The Fairview-Cawston Road is down in the bottom.

Zooming in on the previous photo showing the lonely road.

Looking toward Oliver which is on this side of those blue mountains.

Pink Pussy Toes.

I thought this bird feather looked like a  cross between a fish and a sea horse.

As we were headed home we came on these cattle the rancher had just brought out for the summer.

ON SUNDAY WE WENT FOR ANOTHER ATV RIDE-PART ONE


As we were going past the Twin Lakes Golf Course, Aileen spotted this female coyote.

She didn't take off running but did keep moving most of the time.  

She appears to be still nursing.

After we got up in the hills, we found a nice spot to enjoy our lunch.
