Remerging the feeling of the view from Tasiilaq, Greenland on a mid-summers day makes me want to travel today.

Goldeneyes at Golden Hour
Courtship season has begun for the Goldeneyes on our local pond. Photographed with the last bit of golden light reflecting off the ice, a male goldeneye tilts his head way way back in an attempt to attract the onlooking female while another male sizes up his competition.
Flow in the snow
Hot water flowing through the snow on a frosty morning in Yellowstone NP. Photographed while xc-skiing skiing out to Biscuit Basin on a snowy winters day.
Red Breasted Merganser
An infrequent sighting on our local pond was this Red Breasted Merganser. When we arrived he was off in the distance head tucked and floating as he snoozed on a chilly morning. After watching him, as well as the hoodies and shovelers on the pond for an hour or so, he woke up swam around a bit, dove for some crawfish and flew away. Luckily he swam our way and we were able get a good look at a good looking bird and snap a few photos.
Redhead

Cottonwood and Sun
Used my sunglasses as a filter and a photo jojo wide angle lens on my iphone to look into the sun and photograph this lovely cottonwood on a recent hike.
The Good Life
A Wilsons Phalarope enjoying the good life. Water, flowers and blue sky above. Not a bad combination and a bit of a mid-winters break as well.
More Winter Light
Winter light shining into the redwoods along the the Navarro river in Northern California. Somehow I seem to always find the beam of light that is focused upon a beautiful old stump or the stump finds me. Not really sure which way it works but I really enjoy the feeling of being in these forests.
White Faced Ibis
A white faced Ibis flying over the reeds looking for their nest. Last spring we came across a large nesting site of Ibis, perhaps 300 in total were hidden in the reeds below. Todays warm weather in Colorado with a predicted temperature of 70 F has me wishing for springtime and the return of birds, but I know better. So until late April, early May, browsing through last springs photos will have to suffice.
Snow, water and light
Snow, water and light combine to make a wonderful sight. Photographed on the banks of the Firehole river in Yellowstone National Park while skiing towards Lone Star Geyser on a sunny winters morning.
