Up In The Hills

     In the lower hills of Owyhee County, things are starting to dry up.

     But as you can see it is only just beginning. Certain plants, such as the cheat grass, has already finished a life cycle and are all dried up. There are many that remain green and growing. Especially near water.

     Every little stream and spring is lined with plants and trees, and anywhere that plants can grow, the animals follow. While you can see many animals, you'll definitely see a multitude of insects.

     As far as agriculture goes, there's a lot of good grazing up there, and you'll come across more than one cow, sheep or horse (wild and domestic) up there. Agriculture can, and does, exist just about everywhere. Even out here in the hills, where the ranchers do their work to bring produce to you.
