wildlife!

Last weekend we hiked to Ice Lake and Island Lake, up South Mineral Creek about ten miles west of Silverton, in the San Juan Mountains. We saw about ten marmots, who nicely posed for us, an ermine (we think - it could have been an ordinary weasel, but it was very small, the right size for an ermine) who darted all around the rocks quite close to us, and a fox (who didn't pose very well, so he came out blurry).









Fourteen pictures (thumbnails and links) plus captions on my website.
