Thursday, July 31, 2014 Tommy Goes Home

Tommy headed back home to heat & humidity today.  We are gonna miss this guy!  We went to Durango early to make sure we cleared Hwy 550 in time to make his flight.  If it is closed for any reason, there really are no alternatives.  I didn't take a camera, so had to rely on cell phone pictures which never seem to come out as good for me. 

Tommy getting "liquored up" for the flight at Texas Serious Barbeque on the Animas River.

 With some time to kill, we took a drive thru the campus of Fort Lewis College.

A fawn crossed the road, followed by another & they just kept coming.  Five in all, plus a doe.  Tommy said she must have been the "Doe care lady." 

You can see two of them here.

On the way back to Silverton, we saw several large doe, but I didn't even try to photograph with the cell phone.  Our good friends, Cathy & Larry Foreman took these pictures yesterday.  Since we can't ever seem to run into this big guy, we will have to live vicariously thru them.  We will keep looking!
