Slow Motion
Rock and ice flowing slowly down the mountains from the top to the bottom and back again. Where you what to be is where your at. Iceland, 2013.
Fuzzy and Free
I love the natural quality of the wild crocus. Fuzzy and free. Spring has hit the ground running.
Lichen Abstract 1
Living proof the rocks are alive…lichen in all colors dressing up a rock along the oh be joyful trail in Crested Butte, CO.
Little Lizard
This little guy had a beautiful blue belly which he refused to show us for a photograph. Nonetheless he was quite obliging to let us get a nice portrait of him perched upon an old downed tree near Bangs Canyon in Grand Junction Co.
Wilson’s Phalarope
Long legs and all, a Wilson’s Phalarope is checking out a temporary pond along the ditch on a country road in northern Colorado last spring. Can’t wait to see these guys again this spring but that is month or two and a few spring showers away. Happy Tuesday.
Towards Utah
Up on the rim of Pollack Canyon looking towards Utah from the spine of a sandstone ridge. Wispy clouds roll across the sky on an early spring afternoon in the high desert near Fruita, CO.
Wind
Using the clouds to see what can’t be seen.
Summer skies and lush green grass in east Greenland.
The freedom of the hills.
Yellow Bellied Sap Sucker
We followed this guy around in very dark pine forest while on a hike in Yellowstone National Park for quite some time before he finally settled down for a little break. Luckily he chose a spot where just enough light was getting in through the trees to get a somewhat decent photograph of this wonderful looking bird. It was the first time we had seen a Yellow Bellied Sap Sucker and hopefully not the last.
Happy Friday.
Taking shelter from the storm
But in this case the shelter comes with you. An American Bison, with a wonderfully adapted coat, waiting out a day of snow in Yellowstone National Park this winter.
