Star Mountain

 

Our house in paradise

We've been back for a month and I'm finally getting around to posting. It's been spectacular, but it always is in June. The monstrous winter snowfall has created a lush green world with one of the best wildflowers seasons in years. Snow remains on the peaks and river flow is high. 



Taylor Reservoir



This is what we started with - in early June. Snow and green new growth with nighttime temps in the 30's.








Flowers in every direction: wild iris, sunflowers, larkspur, and lupine. It's heaven.








Lots of creatures every direction too. Deer and elk with their babies, hawks, fox, and moose sightings around our pond. Heard coyote in the night, great horned owl has left evidence he's back,  just waiting for a bear sighting. Our boys (the steers) are back on Star Mt. for the summer. Cowboys are everywhere moving cattle. Real western life still lives on in this part of the country.


new jeep!

The Castles

On a little trip with the new jeep- that's Star Mt. down below.



Rock climbing going strong


Enjoying all the hours even the waning sun. I'll be back soon with another post on my side trip to Santa Fe.
