Looking out from camp on a cloudy afternoon after a wet day of kayaking in the Acous Peninsula, British Columbia. I love the repetitive pattern of kelp, black rock, white rock that is prevalent in the landscape in this region because even cloudy days are filled with color.
A fine looking Bull Elk up near timberline in Rocky Mountain National Park, CO.
An extremely well mannered Canada Goose poses with another gooses shadow on a sunny and warm November afternoon.
With the lake resplendent in golden fall light a male Barrows Goldeneye spreads his wings on the aptly named Duck Lake in Yellowstone National Park.
A Black Crowned Hight Heron working the ponds at Arapahoe National Wildlife refuge earlier this year.
Just as this Bee said adios to the flower we have said adios to our prolonged indian summer. A few light frosts and the lack of sunlight have done in the veggie garden for the year. Yet compared to previous years the mild fall allowed things to grow a few weeks longer and that means one last bowl of fresh tomato soup for dinner tonight.
We seemed to have settled into a very late fall like weather pattern as of late with sunshine appearing mid-morning then giving way to cloudy afternoon skies. We spotted this good looking Red Tailed Hawk on one of those cloudy afternoons perched on the remnants of a very fall looking tree.
A female Mallard settled down for a late afternoon siesta. As the days get shorter and shorter a nice little midweek siesta seems in order.
Getting eye to eye with a local magpie who was hanging out on picnic table waiting for lunch to arrive. Unfortunately picnic season is over. However I am fairly confident the ever resourceful magpie will find a bite to eat somewhere.
Just when you think you are sneaking up nicely to get a good close up this hawk takes notice with a 180 degree turn on the head. I wonder what it would be like to have eyes in the back of your heads. Maxwell wildlife refuge, Maxwell NM.
