Wyoming

Wyoming is a big state with not too many people. Just about half a million residents live in a state that is very large and open. It is a state with post card vistas everywhere you turn. I was only there a short time but I took my camera and was able to get a few good pictures that I'll always remember. These were taken from various points on Casper Mountain, a 3000 foot terrain that runs from west to east just south of the city. Even though there was little snow in downtown Casper there was plenty on the mountain and some years there are feet of snow when the valley has literally none.

Enjoy these pictures.


View from part way up the mountain looking north and east.

Mule deer are quite common on the mountain and rather tame. This guy was actually eating apples from the hand of a passer-by. A little PhotoShop magic and I moved him back up the hill to a more natural looking habitat.
