A Special Day

I spent my birthday today at Northwest Trek with my son, daughter and their families. The snow made the day seem even more special than usual, particularly for the young folks who couldn’t resist a romp in the snow.

We also saw more animals than usual, perhaps because the keepers spread food closer to the road during the winter so the animals were much easier to see than the previous times I’ve been there.

I still haven’t had time to go through all the pictures, but at first glance this shot of a young Bighorn Ram is my favorite.

I was also pleasantly surprised to return home and find the book Holy Tango of Literature awaiting me, a gift from Robyn, an occasional visitor to my site.

  1. Happy birthday Loren! and a wonderful new year too. I love the way the horned hat in the first picture echoes the horned beast in the second 🙂

  2. My cataract surgery’s Jan. 2. Maybe I’ll see your pictures even better then. I’ve already been warned not to expect too much, so we’ll “see”. Or not. My nephew’s son and daughter (2 and 10)were playing on the climbing toys here at their great-grandmother’s house today like they were bighorns themselves! It was fun. Bring on the animals!

  3. This morning I was looking on the www for a copy of Richard Hugo’s Letter to Levertov from Butte. It led me to your blog. I am going to read more of your blog and put it on my weblog at my site. Richard Hugo has helped me more than anyone see and understand my world. I am from the mining town of Kellogg, Idaho and in my blog I explore my Kellogg roots, and other things.
