leaves

The leaves have fallen, covering the ground with a carpet of golden color. A blanket of white will soon cover them.

fall

There is something wonderfully calming and mysterious about sitting in an aspen forest in the fall. Every sensation is enhanced by the vibrant color.

The wind blows prayers of compassion and good will into the universe.

friendly bee

This little bee landed on my finger. It meant no malice, wasn't there to sting or to bite and suck my blood. It only worked its little suction cup across my skin. A friendly bee! An amazing insect with a funny blob antenna, vivid yellow and black stripes, the suction cup and how about those eyes....

approaching

I saw three mountain goats on Ruby yesterday. They didn't seem to notice me at first. Then as I was snapping some photos, this one sensed something and started approaching. At first I thought, Great I'll get some good shots, but the closer he got, I noticed how sharp those horns are and how big and powerful he looked! Luckily, he turned after another step or two... He and his buddies walked gracefully down the ridge and out of sight. Amazing!

snow bug

I've seen these bugs while hiking up peaks in the spring. Here in this huge expanse of melting snow, a tiny, green ,spotted bug, trimmed in orange, with purple eyes somehow survives.
