So I took the last few weeks off. During that time, I made no attempt to report on my blog what I was up to... I just enjoyed the summer. Here are a few photos:
(FYI, I'm back in the saddle now and I'll have a hurricane update as soon as Irma churns thru the Bahamas today.)
Onto my activities in August:
 |
| I got to spend a couple days fishing with my old friend Brett Smith. |
 |
| ...who is a fantastic angler, fly tier and guide, by the way. |
 |
| I spent quite a few days fishing in the Bighorn Mountains for cutts' and 'bows... |
 |
| ...I also spent some days pursuing big browns on our prairie streams. |
August's weather was incredible and I enjoyed a steady parade of wildlife.
 |
| The sandhill cranes enjoyed the alfalfa fields in front of our house all summer. |
 |
| This big buck spent many hours trying to get the seeds from our bird feeders. |
 |
| ...and apparently made some plans for fall |
 |
| He will have some competition! |
 |
| Meanwhile, out in the prairies... |
 |
| The antelope were happily enjoying the deep grasses and sage. |
 |
| and the Chukkar are a welcome sight... good news for fall! |
 |
| ...a few other visitors are always less welcome |
Next, my eclipse day....
