Female Red Winged Blackbird
The Female Red Winged Blackbirds around us seem to stay hidden in the reeds and cattails once the nesting season has begun. Luckily on this day we were treated to the subtle beauty of this female sitting high on a cattail in the pond.
From cattail to cattail
A Common Yellowthroat captured darting about from cattail to cattail adding color to the marsh on an early spring day.
Ephemeral
Desert flowers enjoying the morning dew as we start on a hike in the canyon lands of the Colorado Plateau. These flowers seem to last only a day at the most. Knowing this we enjoy their beauty all the more. A life lesson taught flowers.
The pace of place
Finding a place where time moves at a pace.
Just the right pace.
A pace that feels like home.
Mr. Muddy Beak
Mr. Muddy Beak A.K.A. a male Yellow Headed Blackbird was digging through the mud on the banks of Lake John in Walden, CO looking for a meal. So much color packed into those little Yellow Feathers.
Storm on the ridge
High up on Scarp Ridge near Lake Irwin, CO. I reckon it’s time to get down.
Reflection
A Black Necked Stilt enjoying some quiet time alone in a temporary pond created by spring rains. Soon the pond will be gone and the Stilt will have moved on.
Always Blue Skies
As clouds move and the river meets the sea there remains blue sky above. Photographed in East Greenland, 2013.
Hey…Follow me
With the bottom of their acorn vault looking depleted a pair of Acorn Woodpeckers makes their way towards the top shelf of their tree. The first one confidently leading the way as if saying follow me. I love the colors and the button eyes of these guys.
