Out in the landscpe and what did I see.
Waking across a rock and looking like a leaf.
A big ole Katydid looking back at me.

Who’s Next?

With the wildflowers full of summertime nectar a Hummingbird poses a question, a question other Hummingbirds would be happy to have, who’s next? So many flowers so little time. In a few weeks summer will be winding down in the high country. Rustlers Gulch trail near Crested Butte, CO.

Duck in the Muck

A wood duck in that clumsy adolescent stage enjoying a nice afternoon swim in the summer muck. Looks to me like he is a teenage boy….watch out.

Fuzzy Friend

Found this beautiful fuzzy little moth warming up in the morning sun up near timberline while hiking on a cool summer morning. All that fuzz must help keep her and perhaps her little ant friend warm through the night.

Walk in the woods

Walking the woods always seems to do me good. The filtered light, large trees and smells of the plants have a therapeutic effect for sure. Fisher Pond trails on Vashon Island, WA.

Mighty Mink

On July 13, 2015 By Mike and Christy16 Comments

While out at a local lake on our kayaks we were treated to a very unexpected sight…a mink hunting crawfish. This guy/gal was working the shoreline and caught at least two crawfish while we watched from out in the lake on our kayaks. We had no idea mink lived along the shores of this lake and have never seen one before. Another reminder that those little moments sure can make your day.

Green Dream Looking through the plastic lens of the old black holga into pure summer goodness. Twisted aspens and green green grass. Taken while hiking the dark canyon trail in the Raggeds wilderness area. Holga 120N and Fuji Velvia film.
