Dawn Patrol
A young wolf cub blends into their environment and settles down to welcome the first warming rays of the summer sun.
On last summers kayaking trip we were able to spend a few days in the company of a small wolf pack with several cubs. The young ones would gather each morning on this beach just as the sun came up. This one knew just where to lay to catch those first warming rays.
Vancouver Island, BC.
Silence is.

Looking across the San Luis Valley from Penitente Canyon on a chilly November afternoon. A beautiful place to take a walk and quiet the mind even when the sky is grey. Silence is indeed golden or better yet silent.
When nothing is sure something.
Looking out through the empty space that makes the arch an arch on a cool and cloudy afternoon. Arches National Park, Utah.
One Rainy Morning
One rainy morning not so long ago on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Color abounds even on a stormy Monday morning.
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.
Wind and water
Wind and water waving hello on a stormy afternoon in the Pacific Ocean. Hello.
Sand and Sky
Working our way up the ridges towards the sky in Great Sand Dunes National Park. Being in a landscape of essentially two elements felt oddly strange and yet serene. Simple yet complex. On first glance simple but with each probe further the simplicity and patterns repeat. Sky and Sand then sand and wind and so it goes. November, 2015.
When the snow flies
Sitting on the wire looking out into the fields as the snow begins to fly. Will the hunting for this Swainson’s Hawk get more difficult? Photographed at Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge.
Frosty Morning in Monte Vista
A frosty November morning out at the Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge. With the wetlands frozen over we thought the birding was going to be poor this morning but just as we were about to drive away the Sandhill Cranes arrived.
