Wild, Wild West - Spring Edition

Babies abound here this spring. Besides the domesticated babies (human and other), I've been lucky to see many younguns' around here this spring including:

  • A rattlesnake!!!!!! (My first ever)
  • Mule deer fawns (including newly born twins)
  • Bison calves
  • Squirrels
  • Lots of baby birds

Other wild animal sitings this spring include:

  • a badger
  • a beaver
  • antelope
  • several bull snakes
  • a garter snake or two
  • turkey
  • horned (??) lizard
  • skunk (not dead in the middle of the road, stinkin' to high heaven)
  • lots and lots and lots of brine shrimp (went for a dip in the Great Salt Lake)

Enjoying nature, are we? Kewl! So, how WAS the Great Salt Lake?

Sorry for my delay in responding. I haven't been on here for weeks!!! The Great Salt Lake was great. It reminded me enough of the beach to make me miss Delaware and lazy summer evenings at the beach. It was very, very salty, though(thus the name, I suppose) and there were tons of biting insects around - quite annoying! Overall, we had a great time and saw some spectacular views. You can check out photos we took there (Antelope Island) by going to my photos page.
