My Corner of Wyoming

Excelent!

Rivertop Rambles

Our return visit to Alpine, Wyoming was a good one. We joked about retiring to this village, if we could afford its balanced charm– its small size, the hub of three rivers, with fly shop, comfortable motel, saloons, and crazy red-white-and blue eatery, not to mention its fantastic mountain scenery. For about a year, I’ve been dreaming to fish the Greys River nearby, and was glad to find that the river road, closed for months because of a landslide during the winter, was reopened and ready for exploration.

Due to mountain run-off, the Greys was flowing high at 1350 cfs, and certainly wasn’t wade-able, but it didn’t take long for me to achieve my goal of catching and releasing the beautiful and gutsy Snake River fine-spotted cutthroats here. The Greys River flows for 50 miles or more through the Bridger National Forest. I caught my first small cutthroats on one…

I hope you enjoy my new neighbors here as much as I do.

The OSPREY Family!!!

Not a real fan of the Baling Twine and I hope they don’t get any in their gut.

Been a While and lots has happened.

Almost 9 months since I had my Achilles repaired and I finally got out with the camera again.  This installment is from the Cache La Poudre Canyon 16Jun18.  Enjoy!

Arrowhead Lodge National Forest Visitors Center.

These last are from the upper fish hatchery along the Poudre.

Yard Reno a week after the last post

Hard-scape, mossy boulders, a water feature (80% done).  It’s getting there.  The Fire pit circle in the Southwest corner next to the horse pasture is just waiting on me to move the propane fire-pit there.   Not sure what the timetable is on getting the plant material in but Felix’x guys are busting this part out!!!

Ascot Yard Renovation is in full swing

Sorry I haven’t been posting at my previous rate but I’ve been taking time to enjoy life more rather than cram more into life if that makes any sense.  Our new place, 2018, and not waiting 10 years to have the property we want to live in.  The sprinkler system and low voltage yard light wiring is done, the fire-pit sitting area is almost done, most of the hard-scaping is done(Boulders), the patio extensions are going in with the Boulder Bubbler and dry creek bed.

Please enjoy the following pictures?

Front yard from North to South

South Side yard going back to the fire pit seating area

Back yard from the Fire pit across to the North Patio-BBQ-Bubbler area.

Work in progress.  It will look a lot better after the plantings and the Bubbler are inplace.

Happy New Year!

Jo Robinson

Wishing all of you a fabulous 2018!

Woodpecker and Northern Flicker

I yearn for the day when I can once again walk trails, wade and fish streams, swim in our lake and enjoy the outside in general.  Until then and beyond I will continue to celebrate the variety of birds that find our yard friendly.  Enjoy!!!
