Hidden away in the grass there are many things to discover. A diverse ecosystem that supports so much life. Out in the grasslands of southern Wyoming.

In a Flooded Meadow
A few lone lodgepole pines happily reflecting in a flooded meadow as the sun sets along the Noris River in Yellowstone National Park. The grass below will be happy this year.
In Plain Sight
Sometimes things are hidden in plain sight. While on a hike on a busy forest trail we ran across this beautiful Barred Owl sitting in plain sight only a few feet off the trail and perched low in a tree. Innumerable hikers walked right past without noticing. Even when we stopped to take a few photos only a few folks stopped to ask what we were photographing.

One after another
We spent Memorial Day weekend out looking for migratory birds in Northern Colorado. This May it has been unusually cold and snowy and Memorial day weekend was no exception as one after another we were hit by short storms dropping a little Graupel and then blowing quickly out. We must have experienced about 10-15 in one single day. It was clear summer will come a bit latter this year to the high plains in North Park, CO.
