A Little Snow...

 
 
 
    A good storm decided to entertain us today, so we turned off the power to fill the lake for the hydro plant and went for a hike around the Ranch while surrounded by quiet, slow falling snow.
 

 
 
 
     Circling around the lake, we managed to spot a white marmot (or what we think was a white marmot) and an otter, who was perched on an ice shelf in the lake inlet, probably catching fish.  Unfortunately, in both instances the animals moved too fast to be captured per camera, but they were fun to see!
 


 
 
Entering the Hayfield..
 
 
 
 
 Maggie, she is smelling Coyote tracks (we saw two yesterday running through the hayfields, probably looking for gophers)
 
 We fixed a little fence along the way...  ;)
 
 The Ranch below...
 
 
 
The horses like to "play" with all sorts of weird things...here Mr. Jack Daniel's (my horse!) is playing a little basketball...  ;)
 
 
 
 
Here, Baby Miles (almost 2 years old) decided to pull out the fire house by the corral/barn!?..Silly Ponies!
 
 
 
 
The horses enjoying a salt lick during the light snow storm!...The Baby Dillon (palamino colt) wedged between the hitching posts for safety, enjoying the salt as well!
