Munchkin
The squirrels are hungry, alright? Or maybe hangry, because he wouldn’t stop barking on my porch until I gave him walnuts.
Red Canyon View
This is a view of the rocks which form Red Canyon near Cañon City Colorado. The color forms a striking contrast with that of the nearby mountains.
Greenery
This week we’re bringing back the guest photo. This is a country road near Naruszewo, Poland, picture by a friend. I bumped the greens but it’s just enhancing what’s already there, the trees and undergrowth can only be described as lush.
Heavy Seas
A blustery day often provides spectacular waves on Lake Superior, with strong East winds making the waves break impressively over the Superior Entry breakwater.
worker bee
I captured a honeybee collecting nectar off of a rabbit bush in Cherry Creek State Park. As a beekeeper, late season honey from flowers like these tends to be strongly flavored and crystalize easily, which is in contrast with early season clover and fruit tree honey. Whether you like this is a matter of taste.
Two birds
These two Red-headed Woodpeckers are part of a family of four that were catching bugs out of the air. The immature at the bottom of the picture almost missed the landing.
snow bank
A very, very large one in the mountains near Rollins Pass. It’s doubtful this will melt before summer is over.
Orange Morning
This was a spectacular sunrise, with the orange seen here fading through pink and purple as the morning progressed.
Downpour
This storm has completely overwhelmed the gutters on the building. Water pours down the walls, down the stairs, and over the lamp. Fortunately no sparks were seen.
Cold Splash
Lake Superior offers many types of shoreline. This particular rock shore is on Madeline Island, and provides wonderful spray from waves breaking.
