big horn sheep, a sleeping ute, and the canyon lands





Very, very cool skull with complete horns (this would have been a find, most likely, rather than a kill, for those of you concerned about such things) mounted on the wall of the pottery shed at Kelly Place, an amazing little b&b/retreat center in McElmo Canyon in Cortez, Colorado. They border the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, serve truly divine food (all you with meat & potato diets, look elsewhere), and are right under Sleeping Ute Mountain (the other photo), a sacred place to the Ute Mountain Ute tribe. Worth a look-see... Check them out at http://www.kellyplace.com/. Go for the separate lodging, the little casitas, rather than the rooms in the main lodge; the walls are paper-thin and you can hear everything--and I do mean everything, even bathroom specialities. I've stayed there twice, both times with programs with this amazing company: http://www.animas.org/, another place you should check out...but only if you think you can handle it! It can be a little unnerving when your soul starts talking to you--or rather, when you finally start listening to your own soul....


Anyway, thought the picture was cool. Both of them. Had to share....
