Snowy Saturday Ski
Peeking out from the trail for a view along the Slate River last Saturday morning. The snow was flying and the snow pillows built up on the spruce tress were releasing with the slightest breeze. This made for several close calls along the way but luck was on our side and we did not get dumped on that morning. Photographed with my phone near Crested Butte, CO.
Looking Up
Looking up towards Hallets Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park on a fine winter day.
Old tree and an even older mountain.
There is wisdom up in the hills.
Winter Sage
Sage, a wise and stoic figure or a shrubby plant? Maybe one and the same. Blacktail Plateau, Yellowstone National Park.
Loaded
Bowing in tribute to the wonder of winter. Yellowstone National Park 2013.
Winter Sounds -1
Somewhere behind the silence of the snow and lodgepole pines is the sound of clear blue sky. Winter has a special silence that you can hear if you take the time to listen. Yellowstone National Park, Jan 2015.
Sunrise, Fog and Pines
The morning sun rising above the steam, fog and lodgepole pines on a very cold morning in Yellowstone National Park. Photographed on the fly while heading towards the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone using my phone.
Yellow Headed Blackbird Portrait
The unseasonably warm weather we are having has left me feeling that I should be seeing more birds on my daily walk. To fill the void until spring actually returns this photograph we took last spring of a nice looking Male Yellow Headed Blackbird will have to do the trick.
Reflecting Pool 1
A beautiful thermal pool reflecting what little sun could find its way through the overcast afternoon sky. Yes, there can be color on a cloudy day. On the way back to the Upper Geyser Basin after skiing out to Fairy Falls. Yellowstone National Park, 2015.
View From Tasiilaq
Remerging the feeling of the view from Tasiilaq, Greenland on a mid-summers day makes me want to travel today.
