Another lizard that I’m only mostly sure of its identification. My best guess is that it’s a Western Side-blotched Lizard. I really like his blue and orange spots.

I’ll be posting some pics from our recent trip to the Coachella valley / Palm Springs area for the next while. Here’s a Southern Desert Horned Lizard – Phrynosoma platyrhinos calidiarum. Pretty sure anyway.

A bull elk digging through the snow to find grass from when we were in Jasper after Christmas. Hard to believe, but this is the first picture of an elk that I have posted since 2012. Guess I should pay a little more attention to them, they are beautiful animals.

About halfway between Prince George and McBride, BC there is a park called the Ancient Forest. It’s an inland rain forest that has some huge cedars. It not only gets a lot of rain, but a lot of snow and this is what it looked like when we were there last month.
