This Merlin was sitting quietly on a post along the road near Walden Colorado. We stopped for a few quick photos and were quickly on our way leaving him to enjoy their afternoon.

Seeking Symmetry
Stepping back and slowing down.
Symmetry between sea and sky.

Wood Nymph
A Wood Nymph Butterfly taking a break in the shade on a warm summer afternoon.
The exact species I hesitate to take a guess on so if anyone can help out it would be appreciated.
Tomato on a stick
Well not a tomato but a wonderful plump and healthy looking male American Robin giving me the left profile.
Straight on head shot.
And to cap it off the right profile.
Yes a common bird but just consider how much pleasure a common bird gives. A wonderful sight to see, song to listen to and those debates on how a Robin hunts their worms…they are listening, no they are looking.
Hats of to the American Robin.
Prickly Poppy

Ruffled Feathers
Never hurts to ruffle a few feathers.

The pace of place
Finding a place where time moves at a pace.
Just the right pace.
A pace that feels like home.
Layered Lands
From marsh shrubs to sagebrush to pine forest to snow-covered peaks. A wide open landscape sure helps bring peace and quiet to a busy brain. Looking out from the marshlands at Red Rocks National Wildlife Refuge in Montana.
When Mountains Call
It was hard to focus on looking for birds this day as the Mountains called down and whispered hey…look at me.
