Behind a pack mule

This was my view for much of the ride in. Chris, the wrangler/leader on his horse Ghost. The pack animal behind the large white pack is Kelly Lopez, the mule, who's half Arab and has an attitude!
But what scenery. What clouds! My neck was on a swivel. I quickly found out that my camera skills while one-handed are not the greatest. Many of my "on the hoof" shots are blurry, despite admirable image stabilization on my camera.

Still. The sky really was that color. The clouds puffy and white. The hills green, and the air smelled so wonderful with sage and chaparrel. . .
