Along the Platte

Wind and water waving hello on a stormy afternoon in the Pacific Ocean. Hello.
Sand and Sky
Working our way up the ridges towards the sky in Great Sand Dunes National Park. Being in a landscape of essentially two elements felt oddly strange and yet serene. Simple yet complex.

Frosty Morning in Monte Vista
A frosty November morning out at the Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge. With the wetlands frozen over we thought the birding was going to be poor this morning but just as we were about to drive away the Sandhill Cranes arrived.
Quiet Time
On a cloudless and mild November day a lone Pie billed Grebe enjoys a bit of quiet time on the local pond.
