Hap is being ridden out of the water jump by the young woman who is leasing him from me. This photo was taken by her father at the combined training clinic this weekend.

Since the forecast snow storm made me reluctant to go over and check out her chicks, my friend sent me their photo. They are approximately two days old. Their names are Nugget (hard to see), Sunny II, and Marsala. (Sunny II is a Buff Orpington to replace the hen that died this past winter.) Nugget is a Plymouth Barred Rock, and Marsala is a Araucana. When they are old enough to hold their own, they will join Martha and Cassie in the chicken coop. For now, they are under a heat lamp in the garage.

Without a panoramic camera, it is hard to give a feel for why I love the high mountain valleys of Colorado, but this image is an attempt.
