A Sunset Ride with Marilyn

Trumpeter swans
This fawn was not the least frightened by our approach.
The deer were more curious than frightened
They seemed to be watching us as closely as we watched them.
Wild turkeys roam both the range and the town.
No one knows what patriotic sould raised this flag.
Big shindig going on. We passed by but never learned what it was.

Most of the people I know in Sheridan, Wyoming, where I go every year for medical appointments, were friends or acquaintances from the University of Wyoming, where we all went to college.  Every year for the past few years, Marilyn has taken me and a friend for a sunset drive out in the gorgeous Wyoming countryside. This year, the skies were especially colorful, thanks to huge fires burning 30 or more miles away. I wouldn’t wish those prairie fires on anyone, but they surely have made for gorgeous skies here. In addition, Marilyn knows where all the wildlife hangs out, from trumpeter swans to deer to wilk turkeys. I had to do a lot of cutting to come up with these photos which represent about a third of the photos I took.  I go home tomorrow, but have one more shoot from two days ago that I’ll try to organize when I get home.  Happy Trails!!!

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

      It did. I’ll be in Denver by a bit after 6 am tomorrow and then in a few hours off to Houston and Guadalajara. Wish I still had the energy to drive back and forth as I have so many times before and I’d swing by and see you. As it is, I’ll see you here on the blog!!!

        That would be so great, but that is one hell of a drive, even just from Houston. I wish I had it in me, but for various reasons having nothing to do with will or desire, I don’t. I’m very happy the visit was good medically and you got to see friends and beautiful wild wonderful Wyoming! I almost retired there. ❤️ Safe travels, Judy!!!

          It was. Unfortunately there are now horrible fires quite close to us. Not in any of the area you see here, but within 30 miles..So sad.

          I’ve driven my van back and forth between California or Wyoming and Mexico so many times, but not so anymore. I. agree.
