We took the dogs up a steep hill on the game range near Twisp. It was sunny and cold. We could walk mostly on dirt although the dogs enjoyed little snow patches. Luna especially likes them. She does better in cold weather and isn’t looking forward to the end of winter. And she seems to not care to have her photo made. I had hoped to find sagebrush buttercups but it is not the warmest hillside in the valley. We did find other green shoots and soon there will be more. Probably not this week with nightly low temperatures forecast to be in the teens. Brrrrr.

Where’s Luna?
Mary Ann tells Sky not to hit her with that stick again!

A Red-tailed Hawk watched us and scolded.
This might be the leaves of yellow bells

What do you mean? Why do we have to go back to the car? We’re not done here.
