After 8 weeks of a sprained ankle, and 10 days of After 8 weeks of a sprained ankle, and 10 days of COVID, I can finally see the light of normalcy and movement and happiness at the end of the tunnel. I took my lungs and ankle into the alpine today for a little shakeout, and it made me so happy to see the high country in its green summer dress, and the wildflowers beginning their explosion. Mountain summer, I vow not to miss a single moment with you this year. 💚 #coloRADo
Can you inherit a love of wild beautiful places? O Can you inherit a love of wild beautiful places? Of exploration and backcountry roads and long drives and music and solitude?

The babies were moved from our den last month, but Mom and Dad still come by several times a a day. I like to think they come to get a break from the kids. I have always wanted a photo of them together but the opportunity never presented itself until the other day when they unknowing posed perfectly for me 🧡. Someday, some year, I hope to figure out where their other dens are! Fun fact - foxes are monogamous and usually mate for life. These two are in it for the long haul! #FionatheFox #FarleytheFox

It’s melting out (again) up high, and the animal It’s melting out (again) up high, and the animals are beginning to head back to the high country for the summer. Can’t wait til my ankle is healed so I spend my days scrambling around in the alpine with them. #bighornsheep
