"Summer" Camp????

We'll just have to trust the calendar on that one!

Before the snow, back a week or so ago, when we had some nice weather, I noticed the Mule's Ear were blooming an the side of the hill near the entrance to the canyon where Jansse's camp is located. I wanted so much to get photos of it because I have fond associations with these flowers, and they don't last long. So, this is what they looked like yesterday, and I don't think they will recover well.

On another "nature" note, while hosting Bible Study at our home last night a little miracle happened. A momma deer gave birth in the field behind our house. I couldn't get a photo for you of it because I don't have a large enough lens, but we (all of the Bible Study folks) watched the doe and fawn through the spotting scope for awhile. That is the second baby (both of the mule deer variety) born in that field since we moved here over five years ago, and it is just amazing! Love it!

It is amazing to see! Once while visiting the park with my sis and her family, she desperately wanted to see a moose....low and behold, we did. As she was giving birth! It was incredible. I will never forget that day. (I wish I had pics too!)
