If you overslept, you’d miss waking up to this work of art! š
Daylight savings time
ended today – still I wake
to catch the sunrise.
All of these photos were taken today as the sun was rising over the Rocky Mountains.
inching towards spring
orange sky arrives early
longer days bring hope
Crackling sizzling fire
Sunday morning serenade
Basking in its warmth
On a crystal clear morning, with snow in unmelted patches, I saw a pair of Grosbeaks. Hiking with a birder friend who was more concerned with physical exertion than admiring our surroundings, she continued forward as I stopped to capture a few shots.
When we finally stopped for water and a rest, I showed the others my pictures. They couldnāt believe I was the only one who saw the birds. Iāve since learned about these birds, including a new word āfrugivoreā which means fruit eater. They do, however also eat seeds and feed spiders and insects to their young. Interesting that the adult birds donāt eat those things. Itās like fish sticks, Lucky Charms, and boxed macaroni and cheese – parents feed these to their children but donāt eat them as adults. If youāre still eating these things, thatās fine – Iām not judging.
