Bird Break

To get to Green River from here you have to go up and over South Pass. As you climb the steady incline to almost 8000' where you eventually cross the Continental Divide, there is a view to the west of which I never tire.
It almost looks like I have the camera at an angle but if you focus on the Wind River Mountains in the background you will see it is the earth that is tilted, not the photographer!

 For some reason Green River seems to be the perfect environment for the Wyoming Ground Squirrel. These surprisingly cute rodents always seem willing to pose for the camera!
