A mutual hello and we’re on our way.

Neither here not there but both at once.

A journey to a timeless place.

Feels like being home.

winter_bunn_221

Standing tall, our trusty winter companion named Bunn, a Mountain Cottontail (Sylvilagus nuttallii), scans the surroundings for hints danger or perhaps where to head for her next meal. Bunn typically spends her day feeding on the shrubs nearby or just sitting perched upon a high snow mound.

Sumac, Snow and Blue Skies.

Sumac buds busting out to meet the sun after a light dusting of snow the previous evening. Today it feels like spring is here to stay.

Up on the rim of Pollack Canyon looking towards Utah from the spine of a sandstone ridge. Wispy clouds roll across the sky on an early spring afternoon in the high desert near Fruita, CO.

Horace returns

Horace_returns_1

While not the original Horace, a pseudonym we seem to have applied to most of the Ravens we meet along the way, his slightly muddy beak and side profile sent us on a trip down memory lane to the day we first met the original.

Grazing away

Bull_elk_blacktail_plateau_1

A Bull Elk grazes away as we take a quick portrait an leave him to go at it. He never really looked up as eating on this winters day was more important than saying hello to a couple of photographers. He does have his priorities in order.

Frenemy_revisited_1

Perched upon a wonderful old tree stump a Red Squirrel sat flaunting it’s gorgeous  red tail to the other squirrels nearby. This winter the Red Squirrels seem much more mild mannered than last winters Frenemy. Will it stay that way all winter? I’ll do my part the best I can.
