Pinhole photo of the Knud Rasmussen Glacier and incredible mountain landscape surrounding our camp in Eastern Greenland. Photographed on a kayaking trip with a Holga 120 pinhole camera on a beautifully sunny, yet mild, day last summer. Yesterdays warm weather here at home had me dreaming of a return trip this summer.

Western Tanager

Western Tanager

We spotted this little Western Tanager while out on a hike hiding in some shrubs on a somewhat overcast day. We don’t see these guys often so it is one of those little things that just makes your day. A splash of color on an overcast day…nature therapy for sure. Yellowstone National Park.

Weather up the Road.

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.

Refugees?

Avocets_6

At the edge of the many ponds brought about by the spring melt in North Park avocets were hanging out and feeding in the shallow water. It was a treat to see up to 5 or 6 in a single area. This photo was taken on a small pond in the Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge. Does this make the Avocets Refugees?
