When we moved here with our kids 21 years ago, one of the big attractions for us was that Colorado Springs is still a place where the wild things roam. I haven’t seen a bear in a while (though I have seen them, and one was just relocated from Cottonwood Creek last week!), but we regularly see deer, foxes, and beautiful birds such as the mountain bluebird. When venturing out a little further we’ve seen mountain goats and big horn sheep too. I’ve seen photos from people who have seen mountain lions and bobcats too, thought I personally have not had that privilege.
Yesterday I was leaving the house to take a walk when my son came home, and mentioned a mother fox and a baby were out playing just around the corner from our house. I changed my route slightly, and ended up with this great 2 minute video of a mother fox and 5 babies playing.
I want a change in my life from 10,000 lakes to a rocky mountain high, going to my website will give you a good idea what im looking for at this time.
I have a few more kids to move out then colorado here we come.
