A young mule deer enjoying a little afternoon nap. A nice siesta on a Friday Afternoon sounds like a pretty good idea this week.

X marks the spot

Moving up a ridge in Bryce Canyon with long shadows and those ubiquitous pesky jet trails guiding us towards to the top on a hazy morning hike. Even when seeking solitude those darn jets trails remind us we are not so far away.

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.

Snowy Saturday Ski

On March 7, 2015March 7, 2015 By Mike and Christy24 Comments

Peeking out from the trail for a view along the Slate River last Saturday morning. The snow was flying and the snow pillows built up on the spruce tress were releasing with the slightest breeze. This made for several close calls along the way but luck was on our side and we did not get dumped on that morning. Photographed with my phone near Crested Butte, CO.

Towards the La Sals

Looking out from Needles area in Canyonlands National Park towards the the La Sal mountains on a somewhat grey and monotone day. It is amazing the colors that still come through even when the sky’s not blue. Utah, USA.

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.

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.
