Looking east

Looking east with the sun at our backs.

Treated to that golden glow and a beautiful moon.

The sun is setting far too soon as November makes its way.

Before November

Before the leaves blew down.

Before it was dark too soon.

Before November in a place not far from home.

Leaves and Lake

Golden fall colors reflecting upon a very calm lake. Silence is golden.

Sniffing Snowberries

On October 18, 2020October 17, 2020 By Mike and Christy2 Comments

A young Black Bear using their extraordinary sense of smell takes some time stop and sniff the berries. Snowberries to be exact. He decided to pass but snowberries are an important food source for many birds in winter. Snowberries are also but considered poisonous to humans.

Our Public Lands

Many, if not most, of the photographs we post on this site and much of the the enjoyment we get from being part of nature is the result of the extensive network of public lands we as Americans possess. These lands have always been and are currently under attack. The Film Public Trust is worth watching and one we hope you will pass along to others.

Along the wash

Cottonwood trees, canyon walls and a fine blue sky. Life finds a way where water flows.

Inherent

Beauty and geology were both inherent and walked hand in hand across the landscape on a fine fall day.

So far from home

So close yet so fat from home a Sand Dollar washed up on the beach as the tide goes down. I can empathize with this guy as the west becomes more developed and the human heard marches across that landscape. Home feels so close yet so far away.

Sometimes abrupt and sometimes gradual, change is something we can count on, and it sure is good to have something we can count on.

Working in the willows

On October 7, 2020September 10, 2020 By Mike and Christy3 Comments

We saw this large male moose working his way across a small clearing knee deep in the willows last weekend. Picking and choosing small mouthfuls to eat yet walking with purpose from left to right. After a few minutes of good viewing this big guy headed back into the forest and out of sight. Medicine Bow National Forest, WY.
