A day spent winding your way through open spaces is indeed a day well spent. From morning encounters with resting Elk to views of the mountains beyond.
The mid-day sun shines bright but a gentle breeze blows to cool things down.
As mid-day passes to afternoon the clouds begin to build and signal it’s time to go down.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend and perhaps some time in your favorite space.

Those clouds do add a bit of mood to the sky. FOrtunetly we escaped any storms and ended the day on a sunny note.

Does it rain nearly every afternoon in the summer?

Well, usually there is a high chance of an afternoon shower in June and July with it drying our a bit in August and September.
