We were surprised when a pair of River Otters popped up over a river bank to check us out early one morning. Curious and inquisitive they had a quick look and then slipped back down the bank and out of sight.
Later on the family went out for a stroll along the riverbank and all marched in a line…well except for junior who had to make his own way.
Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge.
Catkins emerge like caterpillars crawling from a tree. One after another glowing in the forest light.
One after another springing to life.
Another sign spring has sprung.
The Sun sets and frogs begin to sing. Wonderful rhythms to end the day.
Some days it’s hidden yet ever present.
While other days you can see the wind blow.
We think Wheaties whereas Pacific Oyster Catchers prefer limpets. We have always had a hard time getting close enough to oyster catchers to get a really good photograph but this day low tide and the lure of a beach teaming with limpets must have outweighed their concern for our presence. There were two Oyster Catchers each going to town on the limpet population on this rocky beach. They would pry them up and them swallow them whole. A true breakfast of champions.
Clouds above a cliff all reflecting in a river. A good morning indeed.
A quiet day on the Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge.

When the sun shines it’s warm when the wind blows its cold.
Do two half’s make a whole or just a spring day?
When spring comes slowly.
Creeping with gusts of wind.
The slight green returned.
As the sun rose meadowlarks sang.
