Coming home from the doctor ...




I had a doctor's appointment in Durango this morning. It was a pretty, sunny morning, but nothing special.

On the way home, we saw a CDOT snow blower clearing the snowpile from the guardrails. Couldn't resist getting a picture of the plume of snow against the blue sky and Menefee Mountain across Thompson Park.

And then we got into a cow jam just outside Mancos. They were a little disorganized at first, but finally moved a couple of miles east on US 160, then up the Echo Basin Road to an old barn and corrals with the East Mancos and the La Platas as a backdrop.

One of the critters wasn't with the program and had to be roped by one of the cowboys and put back in the paddock. Roping isn't just a "ranch rodeo" event! tv

That snowblower looks like he's going right INTO the guardrail and posts with that thing!!!

Love the shots of the roundup! Maybe we'll see that in Texas! although I hope it isn't in the snow!!!
