No matter how often and for how long, seeing American White Pelicans on alpine lakes in Colorado and Wyoming, in the Sandhills of Nebraska or just in the City of Denver always seems just a bit odd. One of those things you experience over and over and should register as normal but just isn’t. Anyway, this good looking Pelican is perched on Lake John on a cloudy and cold spring day near Walden, CO.
The Barn Swallows were busy swirling and whirling in typical swallow fashion hunting for an early season hatch of bugs present in the air above a small lake. Photographing them in flight is always quite the challenge. Luckily for us this guy decided to settle down for a quick rest and landed on a section of barbed wire fence close to us. He stayed there for just a moment making for a relaxed and restful photograph of a bird that seems to be in otherwise constant motion. Near Walden, CO.

We picked left and it lead us on a wonderful hike up into the hills and then back down. A journey full circle so to speak.

When you just have spent the morning eating a big ol’ pile of grass what do you do next…ruminate of course, and while the dictionary example of ruminate is “we sat ruminating on the nature of existence” , this guy appears to figured that question out.

When there is nothing to do much gets done.
Last week spring came unsprung and it was wonderful.
