Bored, I'm bored. And you must be bored too, since you are reading this.
So blogging is something for me to do. But what to say?
I've always been aghast with wonder at those who have so many words and so little to say. But now I will try to emulate them.
You know me, many of my words are spoken with pictures. Here's a picture
A pretty average photo, eh. But it's where I'm isolated, here in Taos. Actually a pretty good place to be isolated. And at least I now have an excuse for not receiving visitors.
But I've watched enough tv and I'm pretty sure I've seen every show ever recorded.
So I head out to be even more by myself, like here
which you recognize as a juvenile borrego ram.
I wandered a little bit around Cerro Montoso, which my version of Spanish translates to Mountainous Hill. A pretty good name. Cerro Montoso is in the middle of the Taos volcanic field and is the largest volcanic field in the Rio Grande Rift. The field was most active 1 to 4 million years ago and today is dormant, perhaps even dead, but there are hot springs around the area, so who knows?
Wandering up the flank of this moutainous hill, I saw lots ... I mean a LOT ... of this
That is elk poop (you can tell by the taste).
As I wandered, I snapped a few photos
In the distance is the west side the Sangre de Cristos mountains, which themselves are the southern & eastern most part of the Rockies. And if you look closely, you can see the dark gash of the Rio Grande Gorge, which looks like this when you get closer
Well, as I wandered, I came across this
Lots of long bones and a complete spinal column of what?
I've already given you a hint but I'll give you a better view of a bit
You are right! This is the pelvis of an elk. I think it's a male. And it's worth $32 (online price comparison).
I brought it home.
Hey, it's worth $32. What am I supposed to do? Leave it there?
