Pawnee Grassland

All of these pictures were taken in the Pawnee Grassland in Colorado.  It was pretty cool when I took the last two pictures of the rattler.  I dropped pebbles on him and never could get him to  move.  I wanted him to move because he was lying right in front of the Pawnee Grassland entrance sign and I was afraid someone might get out to take a picture of the sign and step on him.

The grassland was really a pretty area.  We didn't have time to spend as much time there as I would have like to spent. Even though I've been to CO many, many times this was the first time that I had ever been there.

All these pictures were taken in the Pawnee Grassland area in CO just west of Sterling, CO.  That is where we ran upon one of the rattlesnakes we say.  Most of it was just rolling hills (see picture of road below) but in one area there were a few buttes sticking up.  They looked out of place because the rest of the area was pretty flat.

The last two pictures are pictures of a wind farm to generate electricity.  It was a huge farm seemingly stretching for miles.
