We saw this sleepy common nighthawk resting on a fence post in rural eastern Colorado one morning. He sure looked tired after a night out hunting so we snapped a quick photo and let him get back to bed.

Ice and Fire
Dwarf Fireweed, the national flower of Greenland, framing an ice filled world. Photographed using a holga pinhole camera and Fuji Velvia film on a cloudy summer day.
Blue, Green and Yellow
I am not sure you could ask for more than a day spent hiking in field of summer flowers under the blue blue skies of a cloudless summer day.
3 Aspens
Photographed in Central Colorado but not in Aspen.
Tired Pup
The summer heat and a big yard project has me feeling a bit like this pup that left its pen in the town of Tasiilaq and followed our group on a very long demanding hike. Near the end of the hike we had to negotiate a cliff band which left this pup with a long walk back to town in the other direction. Don’t worry he had a experienced older sibling along and I am sure they easily made it back, albeit a bit more tired than in the photo. Tasiilaq, East Greenland.
Wild Iris
In fields wet with moisture the wild iris are blooming like crazy this year. It is amazing how some years there are so few but when it rains more than usual they explode. They bloom for a few days then dry up and quickly disappear. Nature playing hide and seek.
Western Kingbird
A beautiful western kingbird taking a break from catching grubs. I love the the subtle green on this guys back.
Summer
Summer up high in the mountains of central Colorado as seen through a small hole in a wooden box. Photographed with a Zeroimage pinhole camera onto Fuji Velvia film.
After a Day of Work
After a busy day at work we all need some nature therapy. On this day the early evening thunderstorms were rolling in, but heck, things are green, a beam of light is shining through the clouds and if you walk to just the right spot in this busy Denver area park you get a perspective that allows you to breathe.
Along the Snake
Kayaking down the snake river in Grand Teton National Park always presents numerous opportunities to observe eagles and osprey. This immature bald eagle was hanging out in a wonderful old tree along the shoreline in an area with little current allowing me to get a photo or two before I was moved along on my way by the river.
