It’s hard to believe that August is well on its way this year. Yes, time flows like water so I guess we just need to jump in and enjoy the flow. Happy Monday to all.
Water flowing along the Boulder river as a summer thunderstorm looms overhead.
Late Summer Moon Rise
Late summer moon rise in the sky above Shoshone Lake in Yellowstone National Park. We are already thinking about another trip there next year.
Eat Your Greens
What does the Prairie Dog do to refuel after digging holes for several hours, reach for an energy bar or gatorade, no way a nice handful of dandelion green will do the trick.
Chocolate Mountain
Looking across the bay at a place, for reasons unbeknownst to us,we called Chocolate Mountain.
Clouds rolling in and the sea very calm made for a beautiful view.
East Greenland, 2013.
Suspended
As seen from above
Suspended in time
A butterfly rests their wings
Shaking it off
With the rain begining to come down softly a White Crowned Sparrow flew up and landed on a fence post next to us shook off the rain and then got back on his way.
A little reminder well received.
stories told
While reality begs to differ
Some stories are better told in black and white
and who doesn’t like a good story.
The Kings
We have both the Eastern and Western Kingbirds residing in our region and although very different in appearance we typically see both species perched on fence posts or barbed wire foraging on insects spotted from their perches. Although we have encountered both on the same day we have not yet seen them in close proximity.
So West…Meet East
And East…. meet West.
Sipping Sweet Nectar
This little butterfly made a short visit to these small plants for just a quick sip of nectar. That tongue was digging deep but perfectly designed to do the job. Amazing.
Black Crowned
We see this Black Crowned Night Heron at the same spot along the South Platte river almost every evening in the summer patiently working the water for a meal.
