A Cygnet Trumpeter Swan going about their daily routine on an overcast late fall afternoon. The weather this day sure seemed to be saying it was time to move along further south soon. Yet this Cygnet seemed content and we watched as they went on..
drinking and feeding…
…and preening supported by dinosaur legs.
Have a great day and a wonderful weekend.
It’s a curious thing..always spinning round and round on our axis… around the sun we go yet never really aware of it. For some reason this small snippet of landscape reminded me we are indeed moving along in a circular path and it’s always nice to be reminded of how things are.
Beauty inherent in natures design.
A paradigm to follow and path so clear.

Another day another 100 pine cones as this Squirrel prepares for winter.
October, 2018.
From fast to slow and fast again the river moves along.
Saying hello to rocks and trees and singing a rivers song.
On a quiet day the river fell yet flowed ever on.
Two young bucks, equally matched, practice their game on a late fall afternoon.
While not quite ready to face off with the big bull elk these guys will have their day.
Face to face with the Ravens Beard and a tidy well kept beard to boot.
Watching the earth breath in and out reminds me that this system is alive.
Alive in a way we might not fully understand as the pieces and connections are known yet the interactions a complex.
We have the knowledge yet lack the understanding or so it seems.
How to make it understood is a question we seem to struggle with. Perhaps seeing and observing can help in some way soften the mind to consider complex ideas and then understanding will follow. Time spent just looking is thus time well spent.
Fountain Paint Pots, Yellowstone National Park, 2018.
Up and down, over and around each layer of wonderful hill.
Curves blend to form a single landscape yet each remains it’s own.
A setting sun over the Gallatin range is a nice way to end the day and start the weekend.
Cheers.
