A view from the edge of Simms Mesa looking a little east of due south. The Northern San Juans Mountains in the far distance Little Twin Buttes in the foreground picture right. Standing in high desert Grassland and Sage brush, the small mound in the foreground of dirt marks a ๐ฆก Badgers den. Look closely at the ground and you might notice the little brown spots of Prairie Dog burrows. Mr. Badgers favorite prey. There's a Coyote den about 40 yards away from the Badgers, though not in this photo...
The view directly south from the same position. Little Twin Buttes to the left now, with Red Mountain pass in the far background just right of the little tit, as its known to locals. The Williams range is photo left and Telluride is located in the San Miguel River valley just beyond. The sky was surreal with the light constantly changing. The scent of Sage absolutely filling the air! Oh my goodness but it's Soo good to be breathing! High desert Sage and Juniper's simply heavenly scents. I mean, iffin' there wuz' any kinda' Heaven other than these Rocky Mountains ๐ฅฐ
