Sun, Trees and River
The setting sun behind burnt trees shimmering silver on the Norris river in Yellowstone National Park.
Summer Sunset
A deep blue summer sunset on Shoshone Lake in Yellowstone National Park is just what the doctor ordered for a post holiday Tuesday morning in which inertia of a three day weekend wants to keep me at home instead heading off to work. The ball just gets rolling in one direction then you push it back in the other. Oh well, time to get off to the office and play my part in the game.
Storm Over The Tetons
With a Storm brewing over the Teton Range we pulled our kayaks to the bank of the Snake River and were treated to an wonderful view. We snapped a few shots and then high-tailed it down stream to avoid the approaching rain. Grand Teton National Park, WY.
Mergansers
A trio of common mergansers heading off into the early evening sunlight on the snake river in GTNP, WY. Sounds like a great way to start the weekend to me.
Duck On The Menu
Looks like a nice little feast of Merganser leg for this Bald Eagles dinner judging from the bill barely visible in the grass. Photographed while kayaking on the Snake River in GTNP.
Along the Snake
Kayaking down the snake river in Grand Teton National Park always presents numerous opportunities to observe eagles and osprey. This immature bald eagle was hanging out in a wonderful old tree along the shoreline in an area with little current allowing me to get a photo or two before I was moved along on my way by the river.
Dark Eyed Junco
This guy may be dark eyed but he is full of color. We watched him move from tree to tree in a sometimes dark sometimes light pine filled forest in Yellowstone National Park.
Western Tanager
We spotted this little Western Tanager while out on a hike hiding in some shrubs on a somewhat overcast day. We don’t see these guys often so it is one of those little things that just makes your day. A splash of color on an overcast day…nature therapy for sure. Yellowstone National Park.
Someone to look up to.
These guys seem to be buddies. In fact, more often than not, I see the Pelicans hanging with the cormorants on this island while kayaking at oxbow bend in Teton National Park.
