Skeleton Dance
I am not quite sure this tree has died as skeletons dance at twilight on a late October day. Happy Halloween.
Deep Blue Sea
It is amazing how the color of the water can change from one day to another based upon the sky. From blue to green to a deep foreboding black. This day we were greeted with a blue cloudless sky reflecting on a deep blue sea which made for a great day of paddling between Qorneq and Kuummitt in East Greenland.
Survivor
A little inspiration provided by a silent yet strong tree growing in the barren dry hills of western Colorado near the Utah border. When the going gets tough the tough keep growing.
One Small Step
Like a stroll on the moon?
Up high in the Thorsmork valley, Iceland.
Fog and Blue Sky
This was a nice way to start a long and tedious 9 hour drive. With fog hanging low in a forest of burnt trees the sun and blue sky make there way in. Happy Monday to all.
Chillin
Usually Prairie Dogs are busy scurrying about from hole to hole feeding and digging. This guy seemed to just be carefree and chillin’ on his front porch on a late summer afternoon and enjoying the warm sun and expansive prairie view. He does look well fed and ready for the upcoming winter. Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.

Fall brings a bit more moisture and moisture brings spores to life. Twin mushrooms growing rapidly in the fall air. Anyone read the book Mycelium Running, very interesting.
