This is a different angle of the last picture and there are several llamas in this picture. Although they are larger than deer, they are harder to see, partly because they are at a distance of about 200-300 yards.
This picture also shows that there is still quite a bit of snow in the high country, in the mountains to the south. In the foreground are treetops of trees that are growing along a small stream that flows behind the physical therapy office. That is where the rattlesnake warning signs are posted. The snakes tend to congregate there where they can get to the water.
Some people are somewhat surprised to learn that rattlesnakes do drink water and will swim in it, though they aren’t especially good at swimming. So the signs are needed, even though all the country shown in all of these pictures is rattlesnake country. Just as a point of interest, the rattlesnakes right in here are mostly timber rattlers.
Anyway, once my wife was done, we headed back home to other animals.
