Winter is Still Hanging on.
Not physically, as the tulips are in bloom and windows in the house open during the days, but in my mind.
Each year as winter leaves I look back and desire one more ski through the forest or down a powder filled slope.
Yes, it is hard to say goodbye to a good friend but I can rest assured we will meet again.
A common Yellowthroat hiding in the reeds. This guys was darting around from cattail to cattail for what seemed like eternity but finally held still for just a moment to allow us to take his portrait and get a good look. It is always tons of fun to be able to observe an bird not familiar to you. A little surprise that makes the day distinct.
A mule deer demonstrating a bit of youthful exuberance gives us a playful look on a beautiful spiring morning that just seems like it is meant for play. In the Foothills near Denver, CO.
Looking up into bright blue skies to see a wonderful old Oriole nest greeting the fresh new leaves is a wonderful way to welcome in spring. Young and old shake hands and the dance continues on. Enjoy your day.
A beautiful Magpie looking out into the just greening grasslands of the prairies of Eastern Colorado on an early spring day.
Bugs beware as the Mountain Bluebirds pass through the area on the way back up to the high country. Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, Denver CO.
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.
I love the natural quality of the wild crocus. Fuzzy and free. Spring has hit the ground running.
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.
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.
