Driving from left to right across the North Cascades.
Remembrances of a road trip now long overdue.
January Afternoon
Oh it’s still winter, but even on an early January afternoon you can feel spring inching ever closer. The shadows cast from the trees are still long. There is still plenty of snow on the ground yet change is in the air on this January afternoon.
Winter Wonderland
Out on a cross country ski near biscuit basin in Yellowstone NP. What is not to love, bison, geysers and sunlight just peeking out from behind the clouds.
On the bull kelp
A tiny Yellow Rumped Warbler found the bull kelp a perfect perch for hunting sand flies and other small insects on the beach. This girl would quickly dart down form the kelp to snag a small meal and quickly return to her perch. Seeing her sitting on the head of the bull kelp made us realize just how small she was. We watched a documentary about songbirds the other night called The Messenger. Here is a link to the website http://songbirdsos.com
It is a very timely reminder about what a world without song birds would be like.
A quiet start
After the hoopla it’s nice to have a nice quiet start to the New Year.
Looking out into the Pacific ocean on a foggy morning on Vancouver Island.
You might not be able to see into the distance but there is still plenty to look at.
Rocks, water fog and sea.
And so it goes
As sure as the sun sets and waves come and go.
Another calendar year passes
May your 2017 be full of wonder with more ups than downs along the way.
Happy New year to all.
Iconic spot iPhone shot.
With the “good” camera packed away for a winter journey into Yellowstone we made a quick stop at the snake river overlook to snap this photo of the Tetons in the distance and Snake River below. Grand Teton National Park, WY.
Walking in a winter wonderland
Well OK, we weren’t walking but cross country skiing.
Happy winter to everyone out there in the northern hemisphere or summer for everyone down down south.
Yellowstone NP, Wyoming.
Mr Freeze
We saw this guy while out walking on cold foggy morning. He looks charming enough but a gut feeling told me to not get so close that he could wrap his frosty arms around you. I kept him at camera length and admired his beauty and thanked him for allowing us to take a photo.
Grand Teton National Park, WY.
