It was a beautiful morning. West coast of Vancouver Island.

Right at Home
Looking right at home in the white of winter two Bison forage on in the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone National Park.
Brrrrrr…!
Snowing, blowing and chilly. Winter has arrived. On Christmas it began to snow but now it is just downright chilly -7 F (-21C) this morning with light snow and a bit of a breeze. Tonight it is forecast to be -14 F (-25C). Time to throw that extra blanket on the bed.
Nice day.

Short Day Long Shadows
Winter is here and spring will follow. Long shadows while xc-skiing on the solstice near Tabernash, CO. Get out and enjoy the season before it is gone.
American Dipper
The Dipper is a winter visitor in our parts and this year has presented a challenge to photograph. He seems to enjoy the darkest part of the creek and blends in quite well with the small boulders in the stream making spotting him difficult. We waited for eternity for him to hop up on the small sunlight boulder in the photo but no luck.
We were happy to watch him foraging in these small rapids and get a glimpse or two of him above the water as he spent about 95% of his time head down collecting dinner. Hope this guy finds plenty of food and hangs around so we can get another opportunity to watch him.
Amazing bird for sure.
Patience
A lone Bufflehead and several flocks of Geese waiting for the fog to lift and sun to rise on a short December day.
Keeping warm was the main activity on the frigid morning -7F (-21C) along the South Platte river where I am sure the water was warmer than the air.
Decembers Other Light
Even a colorful landscape becomes black and white when the snow begins to fall and the sun is hidden behind Decembers clouds. Photographed on a snowy afternoon ski in Yellowstone National Park.
The Gadwalls
They make a nice couple don’t you think? It feels like just a day or two ago the ducks left town signaling the arrival of spring. Now the ducks are returning to the local ponds suggesting winter will soon show it’s face. A great time to to get out and have some fun.
Split Tooth
Looking up valley from our previous evenings camp at Ikateq in East Greenland on a morning filled with nothing but blue sky. Well….there were a few wispy clouds.
