17 December 2021: Puerto Bories: Our little hut and a walk about

 


This glass enclosed hut was ours to enjoy.  The sun is quite intense and the heat had built up inside so much that it seemed like a fire was burning in the wood stove.  We sat out here for some snacks and then we went on a walk.  It was adventurous as always!  We saw three calves frolicking in the trees.  It seemed that they were headed straight for us so I said to them that if they were going to cause trouble I will tell their mom.  That stopped them in their tracks.  They looked at us for a few moments and then took off towards their corral.   




The front of Bories House


A giant honeysuckle bush


The smell was exquisite!


So many flowers all around


The view from the hut


Mountains off in the distance


The neighbor has horses and a cute terrier


These were large noisy birds that flew in 


All puffed up and no where to go


The terrier would pop up from the grasses in this field


I like the contrast of reds and greens


We would have to go outside to cool down and then back inside to warm up


It is a long way out there


The neighbor is out for a ride


Another snow capped mountain


The obligatory bride and groom


Must look up this type of bird


We saw this greyhound running in the field


And we almost walked by without seeing it in the grass, it blends in so well


It took no notice of us as we passed


Calf party!


Here they come, watch out!


Full speed ahead


An old boat decaying by the side of the lake


Two tall gauchos


A row of trees in the wide open space


The flag of this Chilean district 


Part of the Singular Hotel


A painted pony


Some big geese


Puerto Natalas in the distance


An odd collection of concrete blocks


This calf made it home


A big house on the hill


The sun is setting at 10PM


Time to call it a night
