Ruminators ruminate and I bet this American Bison was ruminating on the thought of springs arrival.

Sleepy Heads
I am not sure if all the grazers had full bellies and were spending the afternoon ruminating or they were saving all their energy to make it past the extended winter but last week was fill with sleepy heads. From the Elk to the Big Horn Sheep napping or just taking it easy seemed to be the order of the day.
Early Morning Shadows
Nice crisp light making nice crisp shadows with the help of an old juniper tree on an early morning hike in the high desert of Western Colorado.
Robins Return
There is no doubt spring is here when you are awoken at 5:00am by a chorus of Robins singing outside your bedroom window. It is a wonderful sound, unless of course you were planning to sleep in that day or by chance you get a Robin who can’t sing so sweet and decides your chimney is the place to be, as we did a few years ago.
A quiet moment
Less traveled
Less trampled
With footprints or words
A quiet moment in time
No fooling
Well it’s April 2nd so it can’t be a joke. The flakes keep flying as winter marches on.
Although it is a beautiful way to start the week if I do say so myself.
A basket full of color
Not easter eggs but from eggs. A basket full of color on the first day April.

From behind the juniper
A nice group of Mule Deer peek out from behind the juniper on a wonderful bluebird day as the snow slowly melts away on the sagebrush covered hills. A welcoming sight on a wonderful early spring day.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Is it spring yet?
With the weather this last week going from shirt sleeves and short to gore-tex and boots in the course of a single day this Prairie dog asks the question is it spring yet?
Although I like the unpredictability of it all it sure was nice sitting on the patio with the afternoon sun warming my bones the other day.
Is it spring yet?
Dark Eyed Junco
Sitting quietly in a the spruce on a dark snowy morning this dark Eyed Junco was taking a break from dodging snowflakes while foraging beneath the tree.
