A week or two ago on a Sunday morning just about at a time I would consider brunch time we watched this Muskrat repeatedly climb up and down the river bank picking mouthfuls of grass, carrying them back to the river, swimming along to his favorite spot and them munching away to their hearts content. No endless mimosas at this brunch buffet but the grass sure looked good.

This dive sure paid off.
After a few cold days there was only a small hole in the ice on one of the local ponds we visit to watch the wintering waterfowl. On this day the fishing was good and a Common Goldeneye hauled in a monster Crayfish and even got away with it before the gulls spotted him. Lucky Duck!
Nature speaks softly at times but a language all can understand.

Finally the weekend is here.

The male Hooded Mergansers were out in force last Sunday afternoon cursing the pond and showing off to whoever was in the area and in this case the most interested observer was a male Redhead duck, not a female Merganser.
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.
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.
We went out yesterday morning and it was cold (-20C) cold. Yet the water was flowing over this small drop along the Platte River in South Denver.
A pinhole camera is a great tool for cold weather photography. No batteries, no mechanical parts and I can operate it with mittens on.

Even the icicles freeze up and stay quiet for the night.
The Juncos are all puffed out and tucked into the spruce tree.
While I prepare to take the shape of a human next to the fire.
