Hiding in shadows
and deep in the dry grasses,
no longer extinct.

To circumnavigate
the granite entwined as one
to bathe in sunshine.

On reconnaissance to ostensibly assess the native feed in order to decide when we will begin weaning our calves, Robbin and I spent a delightful day in Greasy yesterday. With more grass than cattle, it wasn’t the amount of grass, but its maturity we were judging between several camera stops and a quick snack with a clan of cows and calves. Though some wildflowers have been conspicuously absent this spring, like popcorn flowers, most have flourished while competing with the tall grass.

So many vying
for your attention, easy
to go unnoticed.
