After the rain the sun was out but obscured by a fog of steam in the air. It was a weird feeling of sunshine on a foggy day. Northern California.

Nothing like a chance encounter with our official state animal the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep. Photographed near winter Park, CO.
A subtle spring
A few blades of green grass make good on a promise to a landscape now accustomed to cold. Not bursting with flowers but spring nonetheless.
Cinnamon Teal
With the snow still flying and a cold wind blowing we were surprised to find a few early arrivals to the marshes near the Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge last weekend. One such arrival was this handsome Cinnamon Teal hanging out in last years grass. Walden, CO.
Just behind the sagebrush:
Peeking out from the sagebrush and just for a moment we had the pleasure of meeting this Red tailed Fox. She quickly dipped back into the sage and got on with her business. A moment well spent.
The Avocet and the tern: a short story.
Imagine you are an American Avocet enjoying a quiet morning in the pond. A bit of feeding and then a little relaxation then a bit of feeding.
Then without warning a Forester’s Tern makes a sudden and unannounced and dramatic visit to your patch of the pond.
Looks like he got what he was after. Just a brief interruption of an otherwise peaceful morning.
Have a wonderful weekend.
White Faced Ibis
Two White faced Ibis making a grand entrance to the pond. Walden, CO. The colors on these birds never ceases to truly amaze me.
Peeking Out
Snow on the ground but sun in the sky. A little Pika peeking out from behind the rocks and surveying his domain as the seasons start to change.
