Back in 1991 through 1993 ninety three moose were reintroduced to our county here in Colorado from the neighboring states of Utah and Wyoming....and they have thrived.
I have numerous photos like this one taken in summers past of moose in and around these lakes.
Although we had no luck today when I took my visiting cousins on a Moose hunt. We even hiked up the hill from Lake two to Lake one. As we were coming back down the weather was changing quickly turning a beautiful morning into a rainy dark afternoon.
So, when we got home I pulled out a box of smooth river rocks that I had collected,
and we entertained ourselves painting rocks.
That is fun, I have never painted a stone in my life!
ReplyDeleteHere it's easiest to find them in the countryside during April and May, when they'll often be near roads, licking up deposits of salt.
ReplyDeleteA great activity for both children and adults!!
ReplyDeleteThat reminded me of the children's story 'We're going on a bear hunt' :) I'm loving the idea of painted rocks Janey, will ne a fun thing to do the next time I have my niece and nephews around.. also the grandchildren at Christmas.
ReplyDeletePainting rocks, clear coating them, and leaving them in places for other people to find is the "in" thing in our area of Kansas at the moment. Often left along one of the three biking/walking trails that run through our town - two of them being "rails to trails" (where railroad used to run)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Joyce....I know the perfect place.
DeleteSo cool to see moose...wow, they are never around here.
