One those days where you say..."boy I wish I had a camera".....

We all know those days way too well Stevek...except the first word out of my mouth usually started with "sh..." (you're a better man than me...LOL!).

Here was one of those many days for me...this was a truly beautiful, mature, double-shovel bull with LOTS of mass up-top that I glassed and watched with my 10x42 binocs from a distance...and all I had on me was an old iPhone 8 that I desperately zoomed-in, pushing beyond it's limits...

Edit: BTW, the area was closed to caribou hunting.

Another one from my film archives. Aspens north of Durango, CO. Shot on medium format film in the 90's.

Good image to go hi-key. In 1970s, I owned a resort at Vallecito Lake, which is near Durango.

I really do love that area. Wife and I are seriously considering retiring around there.

Love that place.

My wife and I did as well. Here are a few more perspectives of that area to remember and enjoy...

Yesterday morning was one of those 360° sunrises that doesn't fit on one picture. The first picture is toward the east; the second is southwest, the third is about due west.

yesterday's snowhoe outing

@mtwarden can I ask what snowshoes you use? Sans trees, I walk similar terrain and snowdepths for my bird hunts.

We don't have a culture for snowshoes, but there's too many days not good for skis and too much for boots. The snowshoes I've been able to obtain are lightweight and good, but they are a little "flippy" or soft in deeper snow (I'm about 220 lbs with backpack). I'm basically clueless & blind when I order online, but at least I've managed to stay away from thee heavy trail ones.

Sorry for the OT
