Wishing you a very merry Christmas.

There’s no escaping and no mistaking this time of year. Early December, high noon, without a cloud in the sky, yet the sun casts long shadows upon a male Red-winged Blackbird with wing-bar colors faded to only a pale yellow. Short days and long shadows. A calendar and perhaps a metaphor.

Between the clouds, the wind and even a little snow, sunlight adds a bit of contrast to it all.

Older than I and far much wiser this old spruce hunkers down for another evening.

Sometimes words add little.

A day in the forest.
Flowers flowering.
A gentle breeze.

A quiet walk on a summers day.

Where shapes of flowers and the textures of the forest were combined.

Formed the memory of that day.


Looking out into the West Elk WIlderness in central Colorado.

A quiet and relaxed Red Winged Blackbird poses for a quick portrait.
