Sights from my Bike Ride

We had very little smoke today, lots of sunshine and temperature around 80 degrees.  It was so good to see blue sky again!  It was a perfect day for a ride.  I rode 27 miles. :-)

Top row:     Llama - in need of a haircut
                    Sunflower silo.  I've blipped this before but I thought it was worth another shot.
                    Swainson's Hawk (light morph)

Middle:       A great day for skydiving too!  
                    Speaks for itself
                    High school softball team getting a pep talk

Bottom:     Waterfall at Golden Ponds
                   This teepee wasn't here the last time I was on this road.
                    Part of our local (privately owned) buffalo herd.

I added an extra of a Desert Kingsnake that I found on the road.  They look a lot like rattlesnakes but they are harmless.  It looks big in the photo but it was only about 12 inches long.  They grow to about 6 feet, so this must have been a baby.  Sadly, it was dead but I moved it off the road anyway.

I got home and took a shower and then we were off to Becky's for a backyard BBQ.  They went camping with a bunch of people 2 weeks ago and she wouldn't get near us until now.  I am grateful that we were finally able to get together again. :-)
