Little Lizard
This little guy had a beautiful blue belly which he refused to show us for a photograph. Nonetheless he was quite obliging to let us get a nice portrait of him perched upon an old downed tree near Bangs Canyon in Grand Junction Co.
Wilson’s Phalarope
Long legs and all, a Wilson’s Phalarope is checking out a temporary pond along the ditch on a country road in northern Colorado last spring. Can’t wait to see these guys again this spring but that is month or two and a few spring showers away. Happy Tuesday.
Towards Utah
Up on the rim of Pollack Canyon looking towards Utah from the spine of a sandstone ridge. Wispy clouds roll across the sky on an early spring afternoon in the high desert near Fruita, CO.
Wind
Using the clouds to see what can’t be seen.
Summer skies and lush green grass in east Greenland.
The freedom of the hills.
Yellow Bellied Sap Sucker
We followed this guy around in very dark pine forest while on a hike in Yellowstone National Park for quite some time before he finally settled down for a little break. Luckily he chose a spot where just enough light was getting in through the trees to get a somewhat decent photograph of this wonderful looking bird. It was the first time we had seen a Yellow Bellied Sap Sucker and hopefully not the last.
Happy Friday.
Taking shelter from the storm
But in this case the shelter comes with you. An American Bison, with a wonderfully adapted coat, waiting out a day of snow in Yellowstone National Park this winter.
Sunset Flap
A northern Shoveler spreading his wings into the setting sun. It is always a joy to take a walk into the setting sun.
Ute Canyon
Ute canyon was still dressed in the fabric of winter while we were hiking in t-shirts and shorts on an unseasonable warm and absolutely wonderful March morning. The sky was the bluest of blue and the canyon walls a wonderful red while the grass remained a winters brown. Ute Canyon, Colorado National Monument.
Room to Roam
Finding room to roam in the Beartooth mountains.
We all need room to roam.
Free of the goal or destination.
A place to enjoy the journey regardless of the outcome.
A place where things just happen.
