Photo Challenge: Day 177

Colette and I drove to Gooding, ID Friday night. First order of business Saturday morning was to spend some time at Little City of the Rocks. We enjoyed a leisurely exploration of the place and I enjoyed practicing with my camera.
 (we thought this one looked like an elephant)
 (I thought this one looked like a hand with a really big thumb)
The second part of the day was spent in Hagerman, ID at the Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument and a section of the Oregon Trail. Turns out the fossil beds are just dirt that we're not allowed to walk on...oh well. It was still fun - 
 (That's Colette in front of one of the fossil beds across the Snake River from us...lovely bit o' dirt)
 (I pulled a "Dad" move and stopped in the middle of Highway 30 to take these birds-in-the-marsh-shots...Pretty sure the top one is a cormorant and I know the bottom ones are pelicans)
 (This sort of lumpy piece of dirt was once the Oregon Trail...not a fossil bed)
 (The lovely Snake River twisting its way through Hagerman, ID)
(The Hagerman Horse - Idaho's State Fossil. Does any other state have a designated fossil?)
