In fields wet with moisture the wild iris are blooming like crazy this year. It is amazing how some years there are so few but when it rains more than usual they explode. They bloom for a few days then dry up and quickly disappear. Nature playing hide and seek.
A beautiful western kingbird taking a break from catching grubs. I love the the subtle green on this guys back.
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.
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.
A constantly moving little yellow warbler takes a moment to breathe and enjoy the fresh spring grass from a perch on an old downed log.
With the spring snowmelt the Gibbon river overflows its banks reveling a beautiful wetland near Norris in Yellowstone National Park.
Mom is giving these youngsters a bit of freedom but still maintaining the ever watchful eye. A textbook study in good parenting if I do say so myself.
Outside the relative calm of the forest the wind was blowing and the sun was shining a perfect golden light. Nothing out of place in this forest near the ocean on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
Feathered sky in a rocky landscape with the sea behind my eyes. Sky as well as land and sea are all a part of place. Understanding what they do is knowledge of that place.
