With the sun just rising in the east the aptly named Roaring Mountain gave us a little talking to one fall morning.
It was a short and pleasant chat with someone speaking a language easily understood.

Yellowstone Taxi Service
Finding a free ride is always a nice thing. A European Starling in fall plumage hitching a ride on an the official mammal of the United States the American Bison. All aboard.
pounce
Prowling a meadow for the morning meal and it sure looks like something is on this Coyotes radar screen.
Target in sight and onto the pounce
Looks like this attempt was a failure but it does not stop a coyote from trying. A lesson learned.
Warming rays
A bull Elk enjoys the suns warming rays as well as an early morning meal to help get the day off to a wonderful start.
Wishing you a great weekend.
Thanksgiving
A walk through the woods and then a wonderful meal with family. Truly things to be thankful for and the perfect way to spend the day.
Hot Chocolate
A warm layered landscape is exposed like a cup of steaming hot chocolate with soft melty marshmallows floating on top.
Delicious.
Just Antlers
Staying hidden in the brush a Mule Deer Buck forages on autumn leaves with only antlers exposed to tell the story of this day. Sometimes just a hint tells a story without giving it all away.
frosting the morning
A nice morning treat and better than a frosted pop-tart. We recently were greeted by a morning by sunshine topped with a sprinkle of frost on landscape to start the day.
A Canada goose also welcomed the morning and warmth of the suns warming rays.
Frosty mornings are always a welcome reminder of the ephemeral nature of all living things and a wonderful way to begin the day. Happy Monday to all.
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.
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.
