The class room program will be held at the La Veta Public Library on January 26, from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. An on snow class will be held the next day, Sunday January 27, at 9:00 a.m. at Cuchara Mountain Park.

Beautiful picture
Every picture has a story .... While hiking the Lily Lake Trail about a half mile in there is a large meadow on the north side of the trail going up the mountain. Near the top I saw a clump of wildflowers , mom likes flowers so I had to get pictures of the flowers. While taking the pictures facing the forest I hear movement behind me and find this young cub romping in the tall grass about 15 feet away .... camera up click,click,click.... then form the deep sub-cortex of my brain comes the question , where is mom ... that quickly translates to the fore brain question ... WHERE IS MOM ? I look behind me into the forest, scan both sides then check the cubs location only to find he has moved off to the side and is now standing on his hind legs batting at a monarch butterfly. I took this opportunity by giving the cub a wide berth and hastily moved to the valley floor. After I arrived safely and ensured that I was not being chased it occurred to me, I SHOULD OF TAKEN THE PICTURE !
Cutie.
Beautiful baby.
Adorable cub 🐾❤️
