Freedom to roam is freedom indeed.
Mountain Goat
One of my favorite animals is the Mountain Goat so I was pleased to be able to spend some time watching a few feeding down low in Yellowstone National Park one late spring afternoon. Usually we need the spotting scope just to get a glimpse of these guys feeding high up on the steep cliff faces but this day we got lucky and were able to get fairly close. Beautiful animals for sure.
Sage and Sky
Big fields of sage deserve a big sky. Taken while looking for birds in the Arapahoe National Wildlife refuge in Northern Colorado.
Wild Iris
This year the spring rains have been generous and brought an abundance of Wild Iris to the high arid grasslands of Northern Colorado. Will the wet summer continue or will things dry out. Only time will tell.
Western Grebe
A Western Grebe preening, cleaning and having fun on the water of Walden Reservoir in Northern Colorado.
Summer Sun
The power of the summer sun, melting the snow to fill the creeks, powering the trees to grow their leaves and the list goes on.

Thank goodness for fence poles.
