This was on of the most gregarious Ravens we have encountered and quite interested in finding out what we were up to with our cameras. He hung around checking us out and gave us both left and right profile views. I think left profile was his best side. Yellowstone National Park, November 2015.

Guess Who.
While walking in our local forest we noticed the crows making a ruckus and several were gathered in a tree cawing away. We followed the noise and guess who we found? A fairly young looking Great Horned Owl. He was being kept on a short leash by the crows but it did not see to bother him. More often than not following the crows in these woods leads us to a Great Horned Owl.Poor guys never get a minute of peace.
The leaf implies the seed.
Infinite possibilites as Cottonwood leaves swirl in the breeze with Cottonwood seeds. A visual demonstration of the circle of life.
Along the Platte
Although we were both along the Platte River looking for birds I was looking to photograph them while this guy was looking for a meal. Perhaps a Thanksgiving goose and the duck just off the bank seems well aware of this.
Crossing Guard
Even with ears up and eyes peeled Mom still assumes the role of crossing guard for two adolescent Mule Deer. Great Sand Dunes National Park, 2015. So much to learn so little time.
Boo- a short anthology
A pinhole photograph tribute to our favorite friendly ghost who has taken form as a tree. We have aptly named her Boo. Through the years she has lost her arms but remains standing nonetheless. Happy Halloween….Boo.
Photographed using Holga and Zeroimage pinhole cameras and Kodak Tmax 100 iso film.
Gateway
A colorful gateway just seemed to be asking me to follow a lesser traveled path into the forest. Did I listen..yes I did, and had some fun along the way. Along Clear Creek, Denver, CO.
Magpie
Getting eye to eye with a local magpie who was hanging out on picnic table waiting for lunch to arrive. Unfortunately picnic season is over. However I am fairly confident the ever resourceful magpie will find a bite to eat somewhere.
180
Just when you think you are sneaking up nicely to get a good close up this hawk takes notice with a 180 degree turn on the head. I wonder what it would be like to have eyes in the back of your heads. Maxwell wildlife refuge, Maxwell NM.
Letting Loose
Almost like a drip from a leaky faucet this plant was sowing seeds slow and one at a time on a windless afternoon. One let loose and another follows. A wonderful display of flow in slow motion.
