While near the end of a recent hike, just tromping along which that feeling that being almost back at the car brings, we ran across this male Moose quietly munching away on the remaining summer greens. We had spent the day trying to take close-ups of the remaining summer wildflowers flowers so the 105 mm macro lens was on the camera. Good thing this guy was so close.

While out on a morning walk we heard this Stellar’s Jay calling from within a dim forest filled with lichen covered trees. We followed the calling and when he briefly moved into a small patch of filtered morning light got a glimpse of a wonderful Jay who seemed right at home in his wonderful forest of lichen and light

A misty morning sunrise over the now leafless forest. Nice way to start the day.
Looking up into the San Juan mountains from the comfort of a small cabin on a rainy day. We got soaked on our hike that morning.
We rarely see nuthatches in our area so it was a pleasure to spot a red breasted nuthatch prowling a tree in our area. It is cool to see these guys walking head first down a tree looking for a meal.

Painted brush are just so cool. They are a companion on my yearly wanderings. In spring they are blooming in the deserts and foothills and they follow me along into the high mountains in the peak of summer. So many colors, the fuzz, and the shape, I just might have to post more as the summer progresses as every new photo becomes an old friend.
Braided streams flowing off a glacier. Many divergent yet parallel paths all flowing towards the sea.
