But one could find pockets in the Mountains where the snow had melted from the huge solar loading and the terrian protected the pocket from the winds. In these pockets, it would actually get quite warm where one could take off their coats and enjoy the warmth. One could count on phlox and crocuses to be blooming in these areas. But I don't ever remember ants ... you have some very nice shots and a good eye for nature.Rockyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05325109359230720051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28284097.post-68874778214643869552011-04-29T21:17:50.425-06:002011-04-29T21:17:50.425-06:00Beautiful boulders doing a balancing act,

Somehow, although we may add our own human brush strokes ~ the balance and beauty emerge.<br />A Happy and Joyous Easter and Spring to you and Mrs. Rover!<br />*MariaMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196112590905903539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28284097.post-74589930904162639962011-04-28T17:22:01.395-06:002011-04-28T17:22:01.395-06:00Terrific rock formations.

It appears that you have more wildflowers blooming now than we do, yet you're substantially further north. Beautiful!<br /><br />I saw very similar ants today and took some closeup photos. It's our first warm day after a week of snowy and foggy weather. I guess it was warm enough for the ants!<br /><br />As you probably know, the paltry remains of those mule deer will probably draw bears who are coming out of migration. If I were there, I'd point a trail cam at one of them to see who visits!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28284097.post-26677398578257950332011-04-28T15:51:05.479-06:002011-04-28T15:51:05.479-06:00I'm not convinced that nature endures as I liv...I'm not convinced that nature endures as I live in a mining area also that virtually destroyed my wilderness, which is now making a come back thanks to concerned people. The same thing shows in the Alberta Tar Sands, which is a technology not up to the task, and risks another acquifer. The same as these tailings probably pollute your mid west acquifer which is low in water any way. I think concerned people make the difference. I'm not sure where this leads me with people like your mine owner Taylor, but I and many others need to work that out before too long.
