The Barn Swallows were busy swirling and whirling in typical swallow fashion hunting for an early season hatch of bugs present in the air above a small lake. Photographing them in flight is always quite the challenge. Luckily for us this guy decided to settle down for a quick rest and landed on a section of barbed wire fence close to us. He stayed there for just a moment making for a relaxed and restful photograph of a bird that seems to be in otherwise constant motion. Near Walden, CO.

When the wash forks which way to go?
We picked left and it lead us on a wonderful hike up into the hills and then back down. A journey full circle so to speak.

If there are any sparrow experts out there correct me if I am wrong but I believe this is a Lark Sparrow. This was the first time I have seen, or perhaps noticed, one of these guy out at Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge. It is always fun to see a new bird.

There is something calming about watching a churning sea.

Frogs were signing all day long.

When you just have spent the morning eating a big ol’ pile of grass what do you do next…ruminate of course, and while the dictionary example of ruminate is “we sat ruminating on the nature of existence” , this guy appears to figured that question out.
