Wild Iris
This year the spring rains have been generous and brought an abundance of Wild Iris to the high arid grasslands of Northern Colorado. Will the wet summer continue or will things dry out. Only time will tell.
Summer Sun
The power of the summer sun, melting the snow to fill the creeks, powering the trees to grow their leaves and the list goes on.

Orange
Sunrise on the coast in the Pacific Northwest. The clearing morning fog gave way to a gorgeous orange sunrise.
Snipe
Thank goodness for fence poles.
A nice looking Wilson’s Snipe singing away on a fence post along a small county road in Southern Wyoming. Photographed while on the way to Hutton Lake National Wildlife Refuge.
Farewell Spring
The early bloomers have gone to seed and the grassing is growing ever taller. Farewell spring and hello summer.
We have had a nice cool and wet spring but… Shazam…just like that, the furnace has been turned on with temperatures in the upper 90’s this weekend. Summer has arrived.
The Road Less Traveled
An afternoon storm approaching as we drive on a very narrow backroads path somewhere near the Wyoming/Colorado border.
Weekends are the time to get off the beaten path and explore something new. Walk a different route or drive a country road. The Journey is the destination and you can’t get lost when you are already there. Have a great weekend.
Wabbit
Spring time is Rabbit time. Last weekend we saw plenty of healthy rabbits roaming the sagebrush and grasslands of the Arapahoe Wildlife Refuge as well as plenty of Hawks looking for an easy meal. Luckily for this guy he stayed on guard and was reluctant to stray too far from the cover of the sage.
Refuge

In The Grass
Hidden away in the grass there are many things to discover. A diverse ecosystem that supports so much life. Out in the grasslands of southern Wyoming.
