A rarity for us and quite a treat was to spend time on a lake with a few common loons. Waking up to hear their calls on a misty morning is something I will always remember.

Go ahead…dip a toe in it’summer.
Green Again
I think I know why it has greened up so well this year. Looking east while driving through the Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge a summer shower is on the way.
Green
Inhaling a deep breath of green through the eyes sure feels good. A short path on a small islet still big enough to hold a forest of great importance. West Coast of Vancouver Island, BC.
Mr. Grumpy
A Blue Heron waits, and waits, and waits for the rain to finally end, taking it all in stride although there was maybe a twinge grumpiness beginning showing on their face. Photographed along the Northern California Coast. Dec, 2015.
Sharp Shinned Hawk
When we first spotted this Sharp Shinned Hawk they had their back to us and appeared to finishing a meal. After watching for awhile we were treated with a nice view of this wonderful looking bird. Photographed north of Walden, CO.
Seeking Symmetry
Stepping back and slowing down.
Symmetry between sea and sky.

Layered Lands
From marsh shrubs to sagebrush to pine forest to snow covered peaks. A wide open landscape sure helps bring peace and quiet to a busy brain. Looking out from the marshlands at Red Rocks National Wildlife Refuge in Montana.
Spring Shower
