This guy almost got away with it. While we were photographing a bison in front of us this guys came slinking behind us trying as hard as possible not to be noticed but alas we got a glimpse of him in the corner of our eye. He sure was trying hard and the look in his eyes whispered to us…You don’t see me. Yellowstone National Park.
So much diversity in so little space. Land, intertidal and Islands all within eyeshot. Geology, biology and botany as far as the eye can see. Vancouver Island, BC.
We spotted this female Brewers Blackbird hanging around on rocks that were so similar to her coloring that at first we were not sure if the rocks were moving or it was a bird we saw. With a little rationale thought and commonsense (what little we have) we decided that the rocks were not moving and it must indeed be a bird and it was time to get a closer look. We were only able to get half as close as we wanted to capture a clean photo but we got one nonetheless, albeit a bit on the fuzzy side. It is remarkable how her coloring matched the surrounding rocks..green on green.
Lefty standing stoic and tall even with his right arm gone. He is one of my best friends at a nearby local park silently whispering advice each time I walk by.
In the Winter trees I see meaning beyond words. Fractal Patterns exposed.
The Canada goose seems to be mirroring my thoughts as a very infrequent visitor stops by the local pond this day. We perhaps see one or two Red Breasted Mergansers per winter and this was our lucky day. Denver, CO.
Even in the middle of the winter there is the warm glow of the afternoon sun to temper the chill off the cold pacific ocean. A bit of contrast therapy to help recover from those weekend chores…or fun. Mendocino Headlands, Mendocino, CA.
Standing tall and dressed in white. They make a fine couple don’t you think?
A little midwinter warmth we picked up in Spring Island off the west coast of Vancouver Island last August. Stored in a well sealed container and brought out for just the right occasion.
Finding living color on a chilly winter day as the thermophillic microbes do their thing in this warm spring. Yellowstone National Park.
