After a busy day at work we all need some nature therapy. On this day the early evening thunderstorms were rolling in, but heck, things are green, a beam of light is shining through the clouds and if you walk to just the right spot in this busy Denver area park you get a perspective that allows you to breathe.
While hiking along the pacific coast on a very windy day we encountered big globs of sea foam, some as big as a softball, being blown up from the sea and over a 50 ft cliff we were looking over. The foamy blobs came whizzing over our heads and then came crashing into the ground. We had a great time watching and trying to capture this experience. Thinking back, these simple experiences that are random and transient directly define the essence of life.
Scattered Showers over the Rocky Mountains were a perfect way to cap off what was mostly a sunny day spent in the Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge. Forecast for tomorrow…scattered late day showers. Better set the alarm for another early start.
A simple sunset points to the wonder of it all. We are floating on a beautiful ball in a endless sky. How amazing is that. One spring night outside Fruita, CO.
We spotted this little Western Tanager while out on a hike hiding in some shrubs on a somewhat overcast day. We don’t see these guys often so it is one of those little things that just makes your day. A splash of color on an overcast day…nature therapy for sure. Yellowstone National Park.
always a tree
These guys seem to be buddies. In fact, more often than not, I see the Pelicans hanging with the cormorants on this island while kayaking at oxbow bend in Teton National Park.
It is always fun to see species not common to where you live when you travel. Wonderful colors on this acorn woodpecker which was photographed along the coast in northern CA.
At the edge of the many ponds brought about by the spring melt in North Park avocets were hanging out and feeding in the shallow water. It was a treat to see up to 5 or 6 in a single area. This photo was taken on a small pond in the Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge. Does this make the Avocets Refugees?
With the spring snowmelt the Gibbon river overflows its banks reveling a beautiful wetland near Norris in Yellowstone National Park.
