Seeking Solitude

Seeking Solitude where sea and sky become one.

A foggy morning in the the Acous Peninsula made it easy to feel the solitude we set out to seek in this magnificent place.The sea and sky were both a silver grey and the trees a greener shade of green.

Uncooperative

While the classic photo of the Western Meadowlark is taken with the bird singing, mouth wide open, this guy refused to cooperate and sing his wonderful tune while I was watching him. He waited until I got tired and turned my head from the camera to sing his tune, which was magical nonetheless.

While the Prairie Dogs were busy excavating new dens and scurrying about this Hawk stood watch from the edge of the field waiting for their next meal. We stopped to watch for quite some time and although in our estimation the opportunity for a meal did present itself the Hawk the Hawk thought otherwise yet kept their silent watch.
