Using the clouds to see what can’t be seen.
Summer skies and lush green grass in east Greenland.
The freedom of the hills.
Taking shelter from the storm
But in this case the shelter comes with you. An American Bison, with a wonderfully adapted coat, waiting out a day of snow in Yellowstone National Park this winter.
Room to Roam
Finding room to roam in the Beartooth mountains.
We all need room to roam.
Free of the goal or destination.
A place to enjoy the journey regardless of the outcome.
A place where things just happen.
Almost But Not Quite
Almost but not quite. Red Winged Blackbirds are back in town but the shoulder badges on the males are not quite a vibrant red and the sky is still a bit grey and wintery this day. Almost, but not quite, spring is indeed in the air. I can hear this blackbird singing.
Siesta
A young mule deer enjoying a little afternoon nap. A nice siesta on a Friday Afternoon sounds like a pretty good idea this week.
Through the steam
Blocked by clouds and geyser steam the late afternoon sun lights the land on fire. Upper geyser basin in Yellowstone National Park.
Gooey
Sometime life is sharp and crisp and sometimes soft and gooey. The endless patterns in which life arranges itself is a marvel to enjoy. Yellow Fungus enjoying a moist afternoon in the temperate rainforest of the Pacific Northwest. Vancouver Island, CA.
Looking Up
Looking up towards Hallets Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park on a fine winter day.
Old tree and an even older mountain.
There is wisdom up in the hills.
Brush and Floss Daily
There is nothing wrong with a little dirt on my choppers is there?
Unfortunately for this Red Bellied Marmot we did not have a spare toothbrush or extra floss along with us on the trail that day but that did not stop him from asking as we passed by. Photographed while hiking up Mt Evans one late fall afternoon.
