Before my memory fails me
As December welcomes me with ever chillier mornings.
It feels like a nice day to remember what will be again.
Onward and upward
A small Brown Treecreeper eyes the way onward and upward with the hopes of finding a small grub along the sloping landscape of a cottonwood tree. Photographed along Clear Creek in Denver, CO.
Blue Grey Day
The vastness of grey skies in a seeminlgly endless space balanced by brilliant blue of the ice in the fjords of east Greenland. Harmony exists.
Brunch in the Rabbit Brush
This Female White Crowned Sparrow is enjoying quite the mid-morning brunch picking seeds from the Rabbit Brush. With the hillside covered and the plants now dry and full of seeds, she had quite the buffet to choose from.
Along the Rio Grande
A Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep grazing in the Rio Grande Gorge in NM. These guys were reintroduced to the region around 10 years ago and seem to be doing very well. We were surprised to observe several on recent hike in that area including one youngster grazing along with their Mom.
Not So Long Ago
A beautiful early November sunset on a local pond. Not so long ago but far away. The the leaves are all down and now the colors in the sky have changed into their winter shades.
Tranquility
A place away from noise.
November
The rabbit brush has gone from yellow to white, the grass is dry and brown and the light is lower and just a bit harsh. November is here.
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.
