I really like using a panoramic pinhole camera to make portraits of the cottonwood trees at the local parks. Getting the full height of the tree in the frame always seems a challenge.

We started our hike in Canyonlands NP with fine sunny skies. But it is spring and anything can happen. By the time we finished our hike the sky was dark grey. It was a great hike and the sun sure was trying to break through.

The weekend is here and none to soon. Time to get out and reverse the weekly nature deficit that seems to accumulate each week.

If we make time to see we will find that black and white and isolation are mere thoughts, sometimes useful, but not always real.

After a stormy and snowy Saturday we went out to observe the cormorants nest building yesterday morning and were greeted by beautiful layer of hoar frost on the plants circling the lake. It was very delicate and ephemeral. The slightest breeze lifted it off the plants and within half an hour it was gone. Things that don’t last last the longest.

Male American Widgeon all dressed up for the breeding season. I have never seen a widgeon with so much iridescence in his head feathers. They usually appear a nice bright green. These appeared a golden-copper color with a hint of green. His bill and top of head were also much whiter than I had previously seen as the blue color was almost gone. Another great day at the local pond.
