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.
Great Blue
Great Blue Heron surveys the terrain from a nice perch above Leigh Lake in Grand Teton National Park. It always amazes me when I see just how long these guys legs are out of water.
Fall Bouquet
Some bouquets are better unpicked, perfectly arranged as they are and not found in any store.
Twins
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.
It starts up high
Fall colors in full bloom so to speak up high near Hagerman pass in Central Colorado. It begins up high then works it’s way down the hill. In a week or so the aspen will be glowing yellow and in another week all the colors may be gone.
Passing Glance
While out on a recent hike we were treated to a quick glance by a cautious Red Fox who then quickly slipped behind the bushes and out of sight. A moment in time but a moment not forgotten. Red Rocks Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, Montana.
Sun, Trees and River
The setting sun behind burnt trees shimmering silver on the Norris river in Yellowstone National Park.
Water, Wind and Time
Water, wind and time playing with a cattail to alter its form.
Clear Cut
This Coot was busy as a bee harvesting all the tender young growth from the tops of these plants on a local pond one afternoon. We watched him swim from plant to plant getting quite the meal.
Mission accomplished!
