1 (one) work view! I got in the smallest hike before I had to go to another call. But it was pleasant for a brief time!
Jimi’s cute. 💜🐴 And we ended our lesson with some really good leg yields!
We rode inside today because the temps are going to be hot ☀️ hot ☀️ hot 🥵 Great way to start the day!
Great weekend with @shilo-wolf.bsky.social 💜 We went on a mountain trip to scout for wedding ceremony sites. And I ended it with Chelsea Buns!
We had an OK jumping lesson today. Not every ride is going to go super well, just like any sport. But, I did learn things! And we had a nice ride in the field afterwards. 🐴
Zoo views! Kamowa cuddled up. Kudu snacking. And I tried to take a cute pic of the baby buffalo (named “Kai”), and the whole gang rode up to get treats.
Work views! One from yesterday, one from today. And a ladybug because I like them. It’s been hot ☀️ hot ☀️ hot.
I have the privilege of listening to the audiobook of “Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon” while discussing some of the calls with my coworker, who was a Grand Canyon Ranger for 10 years and is friends with the author. It’s such a fascinating perspective. 🌄
Jimi views! We’ve had some good rides! Stuck inside for a few days because of big rainstorms, but still good! 🐴
Zoo views! Bunsen (bird) was having a day, haha. I think he was frustrated he couldn’t get to a squirrel to kill it. 😂 Also, I got to give treats to the kudus and it was the first time I’ve heard them vocalize!
Movie time! Toy Story 5 was MUCH better than 4. Also, horses are heavily featured so that might have had something to do with it.
Work views! My personal phone is still busted, but I forgot that I could just use my work phone lol. Nice day out!
One (1) work view! There’s going to be a break in work views because my phone camera finally started to crap out. I’ve dropped it straight on to rocks about 500 times. 😂 So hopefully I’ll either get it fixed or replaced soon!
We did a behind-the-scenes tour at the zoo for @shilo-wolf.bsky.social and his dad!
Little ride with this cutie before the temperature matched the surface of the sun
Good news, fam. I was offered the promotion at work! Still a Park Ranger, just an elevated leadership position. It came with some caveats that I’m not fond of, but I’ll focus on the positives. Promotion, y’all! 🎉🥹
