This weekend I had a once in a lifetime experience. With rather short notice I went from having the regular weekend plans to having mammoth plans. On Friday I got the invitation from my wife to join her in Snowmass where there was a major discovery of multiple ice-age animals that are very well preserved. On Saturday I helped at the dig site and personally found about a half-dozen bones from a mastodon! The most impressive was the atlas bone (the bone that connects the head to the rest of the spine), which was about 16" to 20" across. There were bones almost popping out of the ground. It was quite incredible.
Today I went for a hike at the base of the elusive Maroon Bells. They are elusive for me anyways. I have been meaning to see them for years and I always seem to miss them. This time they were hidden in the falling snow. This was the best shot I was able to get of them.
My favorite shot of the day was of some Mallards that must not have noticed that winter has already hit the mountains.

I'm sure at some point you will see Maroon Bells with a gorgeous blue sky. But you got a good shot anyway!
