We spent Memorial Day weekend out looking for migratory birds in Northern Colorado. This May it has been unusually cold and snowy and Memorial day weekend was no exception as one after another we were hit by short storms dropping a little Graupel and then blowing quickly out. We must have experienced about 10-15 in one single day. It was clear summer will come a bit latter this year to the high plains in North Park, CO.
A family of coots in the foreground and a lone pie-billed grebe chick enjoying a late afternoon shower.
A colorful Western Tanager holding still just long enough for a quick portrait. Lovely color to brighten up an overcast spring day. Just outside the North Gate to Yellowstone National park.
Looking west while heading towards Sepulcher Mountain Trail in Yellowstone NP. The snow has melted from down low and spring storms are heading in from the west to help green up the grasses. Things are falling into place.
When hunting for limpets it’s all about technique and these two Oyster Catchers seem to have it down. Slide bill under sand and pry limpet up, eat and repeat….limpets beware.
Just before spring with small buds on the tress and the grass still brown the sun was hard at work. Zero Image Pinhole Camera and Kodak Ektar- 100 iso film, Crown Hill Park, Wheat Ridge Colorado.
A fine pair of Stellar’s Jays enjoying some time in the early spring forrest. Sunshine and fresh green leaves made for a fine morning hike.
Finding succulents succulent and in full bloom. Spring color in abundance, butterfly and flower, green leaves and blue sky along the Mendocino coast.
Bigger than Bigfoot, a Redwood tree firmly in touch with the Earth.
Lessons to be learned from these wise old beings.
To our Mom’s.
