The power of the summer sun, melting the snow to fill the creeks, powering the trees to grow their leaves and the list goes on.

In Plain Sight
Sometimes things are hidden in plain sight. While on a hike on a busy forest trail we ran across this beautiful Barred Owl sitting in plain sight only a few feet off the trail and perched low in a tree. Innumerable hikers walked right past without noticing. Even when we stopped to take a few photos only a few folks stopped to ask what we were photographing.
Just before spring
Just before spring with small buds on the tress and the grass still brown the sun was hard at work. Zero Image Pinhole Camera and Kodak Ektar- 100 iso film, Crown Hill Park, Wheat Ridge Colorado.

Lessons to be learned from these wise old beings.
Easter Basket
Looking up into bright blue skies to see a wonderful old Oriole nest greeting the fresh new leaves is a wonderful way to welcome in spring. Young and old shake hands and the dance continues on. Enjoy your day.
Gooey
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.
Winter Snag
Old trees like this snag as well as downed uncleared patches of trees provide critical habitat for numerous species of birds, insects and mammals that allow ecosystems to be diverse and healthy. I also find them beautiful to look at and exciting to photograph and this old guy is a prime example. Crown Hill Park, Wheat Ridge, CO.
Foggy and Frosty
Rising in the east and obscured behind thick fog, the winter sun lights an old cottonwood tree covered in delicate hoar frost. Once the fog lifted it only took a couple of hours of sunlight to melt the frost away. Temporal, fractal art at is finest. Grand Teton National Park, WY.
Cottonwood and Sun
Used my sunglasses as a filter and a photo jojo wide angle lens on my iphone to look into the sun and photograph this lovely cottonwood on a recent hike.
