A male house finch enjoying the ever earlier sunrise as spring marches onward. With rare exception early April seems to mark the time of year we begin to see and hear the finches in our neighborhood each year and as the sun rises earlier everyday they provide a warm welcome to those still crisp but beautiful spring mornings.
Winter is Still Hanging on.

A common Yellowthroat hiding in the reeds. This guys was darting around from cattail to cattail for what seemed like eternity but finally held still for just a moment to allow us to take his portrait and get a good look. It is always tons of fun to be able to observe an bird not familiar to you. A little surprise that makes the day distinct.
A mule deer demonstrating a bit of youthful exuberance gives us a playful look on a beautiful spiring morning that just seems like it is meant for play. In the Foothills near Denver, CO.
Looking up into bright blue skies to see a wonderful old Oriole nest greeting the fresh new leaves is a wonderful way to welcome in spring. Young and old shake hands and the dance continues on. Enjoy your day.

Bugs beware as the Mountain Bluebirds pass through the area on the way back up to the high country. Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, Denver CO.
Tule elk grazing away on a day the fog was as thick as soup. When driving by these guys they were barely perceivable yet less than 50 ft from the road. The fog did provide good cover for photography though. Point Reyes National Seashore, Ca.

Rock and ice flowing slowly down the mountains from the top to the bottom and back again. Where you what to be is where your at. Iceland, 2013.
