A Bull Elk grazes away as we take a quick portrait an leave him to go at it. He never really looked up as eating on this winters day was more important than saying hello to a couple of photographers. He does have his priorities in order.
A Red Squirrel’s day.
Perched upon a wonderful old tree stump a Red Squirrel sat flaunting it’s gorgeous red tail to the other squirrels nearby. This winter the Red Squirrels seem much more mild mannered than last winters Frenemy. Will it stay that way all winter? I’ll do my part the best I can.
The Red Eye Flight
A Black Crowned Night Heron with the reddest eye I have seen on one of these guys takes flight over Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge, Walden, CO.
Taking shelter from the storm

One fine day
Looking back as a way of looking forward.
Golden light and warmer mornings.
One fine day and one fine morning.
Enjoy your weekend.
