So one of the reasons that I was nervous about moving to Denver is being stuck inside for all of the winter months but this past Saturday was a gorgeous day and Josh, Huey and I took a drive through the wildlife refuge and then went to the Elk Meadow park in Evergreen. The fresh mountain air and just being outside was exactly what I needed!
I unpacked my little Canon camera because I knew it was going to be a gorgeous day because I want to start taking more pictures than are a little better than the ones I take on my iPhone.
The wildlife was out and enjoying the nice weather at the refuge as well. When we first started the drive, we saw several deer grazing on the hill.
Then we saw this bison very close to the road!! There were several cars stopped and taking pictures of this guy.
It was such a clear day that the view of the city skyline was amazing!!
There's something about frozen ponds that is so beautiful to me.
Huey was loving life.
I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing snow covered mountains in the distance.
Prairie dogs are so stinking cute!
As we were leaving I told Josh that I read that coyotes are here in the winter time but I thought it would be unlikely to ever see one. Then he turned to his left and saw one! It was the craziest thing ever! After I got a few pictures, he turned and ran off
Huey loves sticking his whole head out of the window these days
The drive into the mountains is gorgeous!
Huey loves snow...he runs around and tries to eat as much of it as possible! There was a good bit of snow still on the ground up here especially in the shady spots but the temperature was in the 40s and 50s so it wasn't too cold at all!
I realize that I take a lot of pictures of my dog now but this last one is my favorite. See Huey in the corner?
I hope that the rest of the winter includes a few more of these beautiful warmer days!!
