Photos A Walk in Nature

[DirtDawg]

I encountered a number of downed trees on my walk this morning, toppled by recent storms:

I managed to find some decent raw materials for walking stick projects:

Looks like you really scored there. Good looking folding saw, stick-hunter's best friend.

Thanks
The blade on that saw is very thin. It cuts fantastically (probably 10 times more efficient than the saw on a SAK), but I already broke one after about a year’s use. I intend to be more careful with this one, but I am often cutting at an odd angle in a twisted mess of downed branches, which invariably leads to a certain amount of blade-twisting.

Here is the one I broke, after the tip snapped off twice already, and with a modified handle, before I finally destroyed it completely:

Bummer about the breakage. So far, Fisk has been doing okay for me, although we don't get out together much of late.

Beautiful scenery! Those bighorns seem pretty accustomed to people.

The couple of Bighorns on the road were very focused on licking cracks in the pavement, I would assume it was some kind of salty deposits. So focused in fact that a couple of joggers had to detour around to pass them.

Three lambs put up a show for us frolicking and play fighting on a little cliff beside the road. They seemed to get a kick on making dirt and rocks fall noisily to the bottom.
I missed the best parts of their action but here is a little snipet.

Elk were pretty chill too
