Felling transported back to a time when time was measured in seasons not nanoseconds we sat and watched a Bison graze with thermal pools in the background.

Old trees gone but not forgotten. Home to many and a valuable habitat to keep upon the landscape.

A cloudy day made it feel like we were wandering alone on the floor of a Sandstone Sea where air has replaced the water.

Near Moab, UT.

Three trees sit and sing a silent winters song along the Blacktail Plateau. The only other songs we heard that day were those of the Bison talking to each other up on a hill above the trail.

Winter Sounds-2

Within the stillness of the fresh new snow is the sound of the trees reflecting on water not yet frozen by mid-winters chill. Along the Moose-Wilson road in Grand Teton National Park.

Sweet but not too sweet. Out along the trail south of town.

Enjoy the weekend.

Another wonderful year of blogging has passed and we would like to thank you all out there for making it such a rewarding experience. Can’t wait to see what this year has in store and having the opportunity to share a few tidbits on this space.

Cormorant

While watching this cormorant fishing, on what by my estimation was a very rough day, I was gently reminded it is not what happens to you but how you respond as this cormorant smoothy dove under the approaching wave, popped out on the other side and kept on fishing without batting a eye.

Mid-Winter Break

Although the calendar says otherwise the third week of January always feels like mid-winter to me. Yes, the cold and snow will hang for a few months, maybe more, there is just something about this time that portends a turning point somewhere deep inside.

So today it’s time to take a break and remember that sweet summer air will return again.
