Watching the ocean wave hello. Each wave different yet each says hello in subtle silent way.
Happy Friday and wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Pine cones beware
Another day another 100 pine cones as this Squirrel prepares for winter.
October, 2018.
A Ravens Beard
Face to face with the Ravens Beard and a tidy well kept beard to boot.
Fall Bighorn
Hopefully this fall foliage did the trick and helped this little Bighorn Sheep put on a few pounds for the winter ahead. Near Gardiner, MT.
Solo

Pleasant Pheasant
Hey, who’s that poking his head up out from behind a shrubby berm along the road. None other than our old friend the Pheasant. Just look at that all that color packed into a single bird.
We only got a quick look as he took off like a road runner across a snow covered road and into the brush on the other side but a look that will be remembered.
…yes, the earth breathes
Watching the earth breath in and out reminds me that this system is alive.
Alive in a way we might not fully understand as the pieces and connections are known yet the interactions a complex.
We have the knowledge yet lack the understanding or so it seems.
How to make it understood is a question we seem to struggle with. Perhaps seeing and observing can help in some way soften the mind to consider complex ideas and then understanding will follow. Time spent just looking is thus time well spent.

Yellowlegs
A Lesser Yellowlegs foraging in a temporary pond alongside a county road in Eastern Colorado last spring. I sure wish we would get some snow soon as without it winter feels like a strange spring that lacks the birds and has short days.
Goldfinch and Thistle
An American Goldfinch was working over these thistle plant pretty good for an afternoon meal at the Bosque Del Apache national Wildlife refuge. From the looks of it this chubby guy is well versed at extracting thistle seeds.
pounce
Prowling a meadow for the morning meal and it sure looks like something is on this Coyotes radar screen.
Target in sight and onto the pounce
Looks like this attempt was a failure but it does not stop a coyote from trying. A lesson learned.
