Sand and Sky

Going_up

Working our way up the ridges towards the sky in Great Sand Dunes National Park. Being in a landscape of essentially two elements felt oddly strange and yet serene. Simple yet complex. On first glance simple but with each probe further the simplicity and patterns repeat. Sky and Sand then sand and wind and so it goes. November, 2015.

Toad On The Trail

Toad_2

You don’t know how excited I was to come face to face with this Toad. I have not encountered a Toad in years and almost missed this one as well. He was well camouflaged and right on the trail. So well camouflaged we almost stepped on him. Strathcona Provincial Park, Vancouver Island BC.
