A morning ski on the Blacktail Plateau in Yellowstone National Park. Tracked by nature yet not trampled.

Cottonwood and Sun
Even looking into the sun on a cold winters afternoon did little to warm the body.
Seeking Solitude

Seeking Solitude as snow quietly falls.
Wishing you a very merry Christmas.
Scruffy
On Saturday at mid-morning we spotted this Coopers hawk tidying up a bit on a broken old Cottonwood branch. He looked like he has had a bit of a rough time lately with his feathers looking downright scruffy. After a half hour or so of preening his feathers were back in fine order and he was off again hunting in nearby woods.
Short day-Long Shadows

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.
The long view

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