In a Flooded Meadow
A few lone lodgepole pines happily reflecting in a flooded meadow as the sun sets along the Noris River in Yellowstone National Park. The grass below will be happy this year.

In Plain Sight
Sometimes things are hidden in plain sight. While on a hike on a busy forest trail we ran across this beautiful Barred Owl sitting in plain sight only a few feet off the trail and perched low in a tree. Innumerable hikers walked right past without noticing. Even when we stopped to take a few photos only a few folks stopped to ask what we were photographing.

So Many Bugs

Like Father… Like Son
An Adult and a Juvenile White Faced Ibis Preen in the morning light Near Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge in Walden Colorado.
While driving some backroads a few weekends ago a small group of White Faced Ibis few right over the car and landed in a small pond next to the road. We pulled a quick U-turn and got a chance to observe these guys for awhile. Just like each of our previous Ibis encounters it was short lived as they preened for 10-15 minutes and then flew off. They are amazing birds and that plumage.
Little Bighorn
Sheep that is. A young Bighorn Sheep resting in some nice spring growth after a bit of time spent grazing. Photographed near Salida, CO.
