Tracks left in snow

A pristine track walked after a late spring snow.
My only regret was the tracks left in snow.

Spring Snowscapes

Spring snow enhanced by spring skies were a feast for the eyes.

Along the roads the snowscapes abound. The landscape will soon be free of white and grass will start to grow.

Have a wonderful weekend.

No fooling

Well it’s April 2nd so it can’t be a joke. The flakes keep flying as winter marches on.

Although it is a beautiful way to start the week if I do say so myself.

Along the Madison

Sounds of silence along the Madison river on a day where the sun tired as hard as it could peek through.

Spring color

A splash of spring colors. No flowers this early but the blue, blue skies and red and orange willows make it feel like winter is a thing of the past even with snow covering the ground and ice on the creek.

Happy spring to you all.

Or Autumn for you all down south of the equator.

Out of the blue

What a pleasant surprise to find that the male Mountain Bluebirds have started to arrive even with a significant amount of snow covering the ground in most places. This “first of the year” bluebird does indeed signal that spring has sprung and their arrival was indeed out of the blue.

Just look at all that blue it is amazing.

Nothing to see here

A male Ringed Neck Pheasant struts his stuff on a sunny March afternoon. A nice large group sure did add color to the rapidly melting grain field on a late winter day.

For such big birds in open fields these guys always seem tough to photograph. Always moving and understandably a bit skittish.
