Really? In Colorado? |
in my neighborhood you're libel to see anything. Honestly. Well actually, the camels aren't in my neighborhood, they're "down the road a piece." No, not at the local zoo or nearest Renaissance Festival, they reside a few miles away and folk tale actually claims they once roamed wild in the Colorado mountains... back in the day. Imagine how surprised/delighted I was when seeing these baby camels just hanging out and grazing in the pasture like ponies. It took less than a year to grow into young adults. They spit you know, so don't get too close.

Yes Virginia, there are camels in Colorado! |
And then to spy the three Great Horned Owl fledglings on DD's deck was a total unexpected pleasure. Funny creatures to watch as they seem to arobicize their necks a lot. On this day they were practicing flying from the deck rail to the nearest bush. Sooo cute. The mother (or father) was perched on the edge of the house watching their progress too.

Thanks for indulging me today while I share with you some of the reasons why we love living outside of town. It never gets old in terms of scenery and surprises. In case you're wondering if I've been stitching...I have. I accidently left my camera with my photos of Christmas Whimsy progress at DD;s house this weekend and will post in a few days. Hope you have a wonderful week filled with lots of stitching opportunities and good weather. It's been hot here allllllll summer and I'm over it....weather Gods out there are you listening? I'm Over It.
