For the next few weeks Christy and I will be presenting a handful of our favorite photos that have been previously posted on the blog as we enter the ever busy holiday season. Hope you enjoy them and have a happiest of holidays.
A few weeks ago and just a minute or two after remaking that there seemed to be no birds in the woods this particular afternoon, we came across this white breasted nuthatch doing his thing on an old cottonwood tree. Look like a nice meal is in the works.
Looking a bit on the grumpy side a Curved Bill Thrasher lets me know he is aware of my presence. Busted again.
A Stellar’s Jay enjoying a bit or morning sunlight in a lichen filled forest.
Seeing silence in the landscape lets the mind relax and a little down time for the mind is needed from time to time.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Late November 2017 YNP.
A familiar friend that is always there singing that Dee-de-dee on a Decembers morning walk.
Denver, CO
It was late summer and it sure looks looks like somebody was starting to grow up.
Just like that bit of peach fuzz on a teenage kid this male Downey Headed Woodpecker is just beginning to sprout those distinctive red feathers that makes a boy a man.
Late August in Denver, CO
As the colorful hills lead into the stormy mountains beyond the only sound I heard was silence.
Yellowstone NP.
I can’t help but have a feeling that in this age of connectedness where all things are easily found more is being lost than being found. Wild places and exploration included.
Holga 120N and Kodak Porta 400 iso film.
Where is the outrage:
Last year, it was reported that more people died from selfie-related deaths than shark attacks.

Experiencing wilderness is like taking a ride in a time machine to a place familiar yet distant. That old friend you love to see but are a bit wary of all the same.
As humans we have the ability to protect wilderness, let’s do so before it is too late.
Pinhole photograph taken on a very windy morning in East Greenland, 2013 using a simple pinhole camera and Kodak Tmax 100 iso film.
Blue Bird, blue sky…can’t ask much more from a weekend day.
Hope you all are having a wonderful Saturday.
