Just when you think that you are getting away with quietly watching two Crows just going about their business it becomes clear they have found you out.

Blue Tips

A bit of blue still lingering as snows have come and gone this fall. The beauty of the summer flowers dressed in fall colors never ceases to delight the eyes. Photographed near Crested Butte, CO several weeks ago.

Many Coots…flew the coop

Seems like this has been the year of many Coots and this day was no exception. While driving along in Wyoming we came across a lake that looked like it was filled with many Ducks however upon closer inspection it appeared to be filled to the brim with only Coots.

Well looks like I made a blunder and forgot the photo I had chosen for this post. I am away from my computer today so just imagine many coots on this nice fall pond. Not quite a majestic mountain lake at the base of a majestic mountain range but pretty nonetheless. Thanks to everyone who pointed out the missing photo.

So far from home

So close yet so fat from home a Sand Dollar washed up on the beach as the tide goes down. I can empathize with this guy as the west becomes more developed and the human heard marches across that landscape. Home feels so close yet so far away.

A beautiful fall afternoon in the Tetons spent watching the weather pass from Cloudy-to cloudy to mostly cloudy with the added bonus of beautiful fall colors.
