Sometime life is sharp and crisp and sometimes soft and gooey. The endless patterns in which life arranges itself is a marvel to enjoy. Yellow Fungus enjoying a moist afternoon in the temperate rainforest of the Pacific Northwest. Vancouver Island, CA.
Looking out from Needles area in Canyonlands National Park towards the the La Sal mountains on a somewhat grey and monotone day. It is amazing the colors that still come through even when the sky’s not blue. Utah, USA.
Looking up towards Hallets Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park on a fine winter day.
Old tree and an even older mountain.
There is wisdom up in the hills.
There is nothing wrong with a little dirt on my choppers is there?
Unfortunately for this Red Bellied Marmot we did not have a spare toothbrush or extra floss along with us on the trail that day but that did not stop him from asking as we passed by. Photographed while hiking up Mt Evans one late fall afternoon.
The sun breaking through the clouds to reflect on itself on a cold winters day in the upper geyser basin of Yellowstone National Park.
Sage, a wise and stoic figure or a shrubby plant? Maybe one and the same. Blacktail Plateau, Yellowstone National Park.
Hiking up high towards the summit of Eyjafjallajökull. Volcanic rock, sky,snow melting into water on its way to the sea and space enough to feel at ease.
Different yet oh so similar and both with golden eyes. A male Red Headed duck in the background and a male Common Goldeneye both cruising the local pond near sunset looking to impress the ladies.
Bowing in tribute to the wonder of winter. Yellowstone National Park 2013.
A nice telephoto lens can be a great learning tool and this shot is a good example. You think you are being sneaky, hidden behind the shrubs on the rivers edge, watching this pair of Northern Shovelers feeding. Then you peer through your lens and lo and behold they are looking right back at you. Still feeding, relaxed, yet aware of your presence. Ecological awareness on display.
