Weather up the Road.
This year the afternoon showers seemed to have returned on a regular basis, greening things up, but more importantly a sense of rhythm to the day that was absent over the last few years when the showers were infrequent. Weather adding a beat to the rhythm of life. Photographed while driving a quiet road near Walden, CO.
Little Yellow Guy
A constantly moving little yellow warbler takes a moment to breathe and enjoy the fresh spring grass from a perch on an old downed log.
Someone to look up to.
These guys seem to be buddies. In fact, more often than not, I see the Pelicans hanging with the cormorants on this island while kayaking at oxbow bend in Teton National Park.
Wilsons Phalarope
We found a nice sized group of these guys feeding in shallows ponds created by the the recent rain and snowmelt in Northern Colorado. What a beautiful bird.

With the spring snowmelt the Gibbon river overflows its banks reveling a beautiful wetland near Norris in Yellowstone National Park.
Morning Drink
A female moose enjoying an early morning drink. This weekend we went out looking for migratory birds but, in addition, sighted several female moose in the flooded willows and streams of north park, including one that had just calved. Not bad for just being out on a Sunday drive.
Welcome Back

Ravens, fog and rock
A pair of ravens having a chat on a foggy morning near Ucluelet, BC. They were probably discussing the pair of eagles in the trees above or maybe the grey whale swimming by below.
Against the odds.
Nature has a way if left to its own accord.
