Praire Dogs

Went out for a photography ride Saturday in search of prarie dogs. I knew this great area where John and I had been before that is just bustling with the dogs so I headed up 36 towards Lyons with my camera on my back. This man rode up from behind me and we rode together for a while talking about all the rain, how we both are getting into cycling and still out of shape, etc etc. Soon I left him as I turned down Veda (?) road towards pdog land. I pulled over to the side of the road at a spot where there was a commune of pdogs that came right up next to the road. John and I had found this spot before after a ride in which my tire blew. Most of the time you can see pdogs running all around and jump yipping and all that, but today they were quiet and uneventful. I sat and sat with my camera ready to go and got just one shot of a pdog standing on a mound in the distance. I started feeling droplets of rain coming on and gave up on the pdog pictures for the day, riding back in the beginning of a big storm.
