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.
Two Antelope
Two Antelope…they can be just dots on the landscape or present in the foreground but either way Pronghorn make the western landscape complete.
Looking west from the Pawnee National Grasslands two Pronghorn graze far in the distance with the northern front range of Rocky Mountains as a back drop.
This time looking east from the sage lands of North Park two Antelope graze west of the continental divide.

Traveling the Backroads
Feeling at home where the landscape reclaims the roads.
A quiet place where impermanence is understood.
On the Prairies and Sagebrush plains of Colorado what will be, still is.

Bison
Bison….making the landscape complete.
Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife refuge.
Thirsty
Wandering around on the Pawnee National Grasslands last weekend it was quite clear the land is thirsty.
Areas where temporary ponds usually are found are dry as a bone this year.
Flowers from last year remain but the new flowers are asking for rain.
A vast landscape in search of a drink…where are you April Showers.

A Quiet Moment
Seeking silence on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Summer 2015.
As my time goes by silence means more than noise.
