Not wanting to go into a long, drawn-out retell of day 1 of my trip, I instead choose to focus on two images I took.
Antelope are plentiful on the Swell, but they never seem to be around when you’d like to take a photograph of one. Luckily, I came across this fellow—rather by accident—and was able to get a shot of him before he took off.
Horses and burros were brought in when the Swell was being mined for uranium in the early nineteen hundreds. With the coming of the automobile and mechanized farming, many were released or escaped into the wilds. The descendants of these animals still roam free today and inhabit the
I’d only seen wild burros one time before in all my varied trips with my own eyes; this time I was fortunate enough to come across a herd of about twelve of them—including a few foals.

Awesome pictures!
Seems like those animals were posing for you. Beautiful pictures as always!
It was sure nice of them to look at the camera and say 'cheese!' Want to know how dumb I am? For some reason, wild burros scare me. But they sure are cute!
Those burros are SO ADORABLE! :D Great angle on the photo too!
Looks like you are having fun and enjoying your summer break.
Be safe out there!
K - Of course I remember you! It's been forever since I've seen you though. Thanks for stopping by...if you're ever in the neighborhood we'll have to do lunch or something.
C - I'll enjoy it for you, okay?
J - Not.yet.
L - I plan to go through others I've taken but with training it has eaten up nearly my entire day.
M - Right before they took off running the other direction. Well, the mules frolicked a bit, but that antelope was out of there.
G - Actually they were stuffed.
I don't like burritos either.
C - It just worked out with the way they turned. Good timing, you know?
K - So far, so good. I will watch it.
