Today we went for a walk on the No Thoroughfare Trail in the Colorado National Monument near Grand Junction, Colorado. Signs of Spring were everywhere. The special treat was spotting a group of six bighorn sheep passing by the first pond on the trail.
Closeup using my cell phone held up to a pair of binoculars.

There were several different types of bright flowers already blooming along the trail.
A few species of wild bees could be seen droning around.
