Beyond the noise there is quiet. It’s getting more difficult to find but I’ve heard it does exist.
Here’s to a noise free weekend.
above the ridge
While the weather posed no threat the clouds just seemed to grow and grow as the day went on.
And although the landscape was brilliant the combination of earth and sky called out to be seen as one. The ridge-line and sky combined to become the one that they already are.
Above the ridge,
the ridge the clouds call home.
a flies eyes
It is always a surprise when we look closely and find a flies eyes attached to what we thought was a bees body. Using Batesian mimicry to look like a bee when your really a fly a bee-fly mimic and yellow-jacket mmimic enjoy a sip of nectar from a late blooming sedum plant.
It is always a surprise and reason to take a closer look at the insects in the garden.
finding color
The clouds weighed on the earth like a weight on this October day yet colors sprang forth to brighten the landscape.
Just a bit of snow lingers around the thermal features on Firehole drive although the next round is on its way.
Finding color on a cloudy day where color abounds.
Hey Daddy-O
Hey daddy-o what’s up?
Just hanging out enjoying the flowers in the garden.
Given the huge number of species might explain why we see them running about everywhere in the yard and often in the house all the time.
How De Dew
Just a little caterpillar making their way through the grass on dewy fall morning. Enjoy the journey and have a great day.
In the Fall Grass
Despite the fact that mornings are starting to dip below freezing, this little guy is still hanging in there and looking quite comfortable with his antennae blowing in the breeze on a colorful fall morning.
October Gold
Mining for a bit of gold on a mid-October afternoon along the Blacktail Plateau. Most of the trees have dropped their golden leaves yet the grasses glow golden in the afternoon light.
The clouds come and go but the gold remains along the trail to blacktail creek.
Like giant gold nuggets the bison roam free in the fields along the plateau.
A wonderful way to end the day.
Wishing you a fine weekend and perhaps some time outside for a breath of fresh air.
A Well Kept Raven
Looking not the least bit scruffy at all with clean beak and perfect feathers. This was one well kept Raven who was more than willing to pose for a a few photos as they enjoyed a sunny perch on a crisp autumn afternoon.
One nut at a time
Working their way through a pile of sunflower seed one nut at a time. We love having the Red Breasted Nuthatches around as company. By mid-October most of the migrating species have flown the coop for warmer climates but these little guys stick around all year long. Everything about them from their song to their perky behavior helps to brighten even the cloudiest day.
