Double Barrels and Elk Antlers
On the Bad Land Cliffs, we always see something interesting.
This one's grown a twin.
We saw plenty of wildflowers, and...
What's that growing on the skeleton juniper tree? An elk head!?
The antlers are still partially encased in velvet.
No point in wasting the unusual photo frame.

I love the flower shots--but wow! what an unusual find in a juniper tree! It did make a unique photo frame.
ReplyDeleteLove the flower shots and 'wow' about the elk head find. So what did you do with it? Leave it as you found it or make it an addition to your home/yard decor? Most likely I would have left it for I would of been hiking and the thought of lugging it back down the trail would not be too appealing. But I have been known to do some crazy things in the past.
ReplyDeleteI don't stop to think about the colorful flowers on the trails until you show beauties like these.
ReplyDeleteA perfect frame for you and Steve.. did Daisey take that shot, Janie? (wink and a smile;)
Hugs,
Pam
That's such a neat photo of you and Steve framed by the elk skeleton. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed that cacti have such beautiful blossoms.
That is cool. And great shot of the cactus. Better to look than touch in that case for sure.
ReplyDeleteLove the elk skull frame. I too would have wanted to lug it home.
ReplyDeleteThe cactus flowers are beautiful. Going to go hiking Sat and hopefully see wildflowers on the plateau.
I love the milkvetch. Both the color of the plant and the name of it.
ReplyDeleteThe elk antlers are very cool. So did Daisy take the shot with you guys and the antlers? She is very good.
Fantastic! The elk skull is rather sad but it does make a most unusual and very attractive photo frame.
ReplyDeleteThat elk sure had a huge rack of antlers. Love the vivid colors of the wildflowers!
ReplyDeleteAnother great find! Your summer is off to a good start.
ReplyDeleteI love all the flowers that you have found...so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI assume Daisy took the photo of the two of you with the skull....give her a 'high five' from me. :)
