At this altitude in a plane you need constant supplemental oxygen and at the summit, signs warn of altitude sickness. We spotted goats and yellow-bellied marmots at lower lookouts - at the top it was icy cold and rocks dominated the landscape.

May 20 - Heights
Mt Evans is the highest paved road in North America. It is in the Rocky Mountains near Denver. The day we drove up to the summit started fine and sunny, but at the top it was bitterly cold and windy. Being in a convertible car didn't help as the heater didn't really have much chance. Coats, jeans, scarves and woolen hats were the outfit of choice.

May 18 - Healthy
What could be healthier than fresh, warm, free range eggs?
The colours are true - the Arucana lays blue eggs :)

May 16 - Hands
This little Californian critter was nibbling on some seeds,
his little hands were busy searching and sorting
...then making sure they got straight to his mouth!
May 15 - Growth
This climbing rose has grown up a palm tree - I love the pink flowers against the colour of the sky
May 14 - Groups
Groups of birds - of course!!
These Turkey Buzzards had their wings hung out to dry on a misty summer morning
on the California coast.
Closer to home our group (gang?) of boys in the hen house always had to climb higher than the girls
Showing off? or staying away from the fierce mama chooks?
