Fun day today. The weather has at last cooperated, giving us all a taste of spring. I celebrated by taking the dirt bike to an area just north of Montrose, Colorado, known locally as the “adobes.” The soil in this area, as you can see from the pictures, is pretty bad and doesn’t support agriculture and isn’t frankly very pretty, so several thousand acres have been set aside for motorcyclists. Local organizations have established many, many trails.
Here's the entrance to the Montrose 'Adobes.' That's me and my bike.
I had a day off, but the mighty cell phone caught up with me. I took a work-related call right here. Nice view from the office, huh?
Not real good soil, but enough to bloom. The large clump there is about an inch across.
Now this is a real close-up. The flowers, including the petals, are only about a quarter inch across.
Not content with just photographs, I took some video too. I’ll process that and put it in a separate post. In the meantime, let the season begin!
I’ll be joining you soon!
