This male Hooded Merganser who we dubbed Handsome would make quite the companion for the female Hoodie we posted earlier in the week.
Wonder what his eHarmony profile would look like?

Lesser Scaup
This good looking guy was floating on the local pond near sunset on a cold winter day. We only see Lesser Scaups a few times each winter so we just sat for awhile soaking up that amazing color in his head feathers.

At Mammoth
Nature speaks softly at times but a language all can understand.
Yellowstone National Park.
Sweet
This girl just has it all a bit of sweetness mixed with that sassy hairdo. Hey guys what’s not to like here.

Winter Willows
Out skiing the trails through the willows looking for moose to photograph. No luck today but the winter sun and willows are a pleasure nonetheless.
Into the morning sun
A morning ski on the Blacktail Plateau in Yellowstone National Park. Tracked by nature yet not trampled.
At Dusk
Geese and Mallards enjoying an evening out on a nearby lake as dusk finds its’ way to the end of another day.
Finally the weekend is here.

Stormy Seas
Waiting for the storm to clear felt like forever and a day.
Yet as a storm arrives it brings with it the next sunny day.
Northern California coast.
A bit of sunshine
An American Robin dressed in his winter coat brings a bit of sunshine to a very grey January day. We usually don’t have quite this level of grey here in Colorado like we had last weekend so I am grateful the sun has returned this week.
May your days be filled with sunshine and may Robins fill your trees.
Along the Platte
It seems like every winter we get a short but welcome visit from a pair of Bald Eagles on the stretch of Platte River we frequent on a regular basis. This year was no exception as this one showed up on a snowy January morning. According to reports their mate was spotted just up river.
