Leather or shades of brown is our color of the month photo challenge this week. Leather being a preserved animal hide or skin made me think of the many animals we’ve been able to observe in our travels. Noble creatures such as horses to silly cows have all unexpectedly cross our path. In retrospect, we crossed their path!
After life had me hitting the pause button in blogging, social media and YouTube videos, we’re finally heading back to our normal routines. The drive home was just the opportunity to scan the photo archives! It’s always a pleasant distraction to remember the wonderment and excitement of running into a variety of wildlife on our trips.
The Bisti Badlands New Mexico
We came here for odd rocks and got treated to a group of wild horses. Our surprise find of the trip.

From our recent Redwoods National Park visit:
Redwoods National Park & Northern CA Coast

From our Summer 2022 Gand Tetons stay:

Peek-a-boo Deer in Glacier National Park:
This doe was eating and we almost missed her until she popped her head up.

Scaredy Cat Cow near Carlsbad Caverns New Mexico
It was an after arrival north of Carlsbad Caverns and we’d set out on a walk to the top of a hill. Being on BLM land, we ended up walking through several grazing cattle.
This cow in particular was curiously afraid of Cooper! It start dancing and skittering around which of course got Cooper excited too.

So great to see your lovely post of our furry, leathery friends, Cheryl! The images all look nice in their brown wrappings. Hope your Thanksgiving was relaxing at some point. Glad to see you back from your break.

Thank you Terry. I’m still working on getting back to my old normal. Thanksgiving was somewhat non existent for Steve and I but I got to spend last weekend with my daughter who made us turkey and pumpkin pies…now all is right in my world. 🙂

It sems like the winter holidays are grounding for those who crave tradition (I know I do), but at least you got your turkey and pumpkin pie, Cheryl. And it’s always great to be with family!
