A nice Yellow Finch compliments summers leaves quite well. A male American Goldfinch enjoys a bit of shade on a warm summer afternoon.

Like Sunshine
Fresh new leaves and a pure blue sky are waiting for something that is just like sunshine.
A little Yellow Warbler…just as pure and bright as sunshine.
Sounds of rock and sky
An afternoon hike accompanied by the sounds of rock and sky.
Dinosaur National Monument, Utah.
Avocet, mud and barbed wire
Although there were cleaner looking ponds in the area this Avocet seemed to prefer this muddy roadside pond surrounded by a barbed wire fence. I guess the foraging must have been good despite the muddy waters.
The Charmer
Some guys just know that they have the stuff to get the ladies and this is one of those guys…The Charmer. There were numerous Red Winged Blackbirds on the pond this day all strutting there stuff but to my untrained eye, heck i’m a human not a female Red Winged Blackbird, this guy just stood out.
He sang his song like no others birds on the pond and with a style non could match.
When he finished singing he put his brilliant red wings on display which none of the other males were doing. Most just sang and sang.
Yes…this guy knows he is The Charmer.

Looking West
Looking west towards Utah from the canyons of western Colorado. The wind was blowing wispy clouds our way along with a late spring chill.

A Day Spent In Dinosaur
With Mud sliding down mud to make patterns you could imagine as ancient bones.
Pinyons and Junipers that speak of their age.
Slickrock ascending into the sky.
A day spent in Dinosaur National Monument with views both near and far. Hope to make it back there soon.
