Starting off the new year again with another of my favorite birds to capture in the wild, the Great Blue Heron. I enjoy capturing these birds partially because they are just interesting birds but also because they are such a challenge, at least in my area. This is how I normally get to capture them, they are flying away from me. 😏
Happy Monday and happy new week! Today's image is another of the snowflakes I was able to capture during a short snow last month. This is a 7 image stack.
It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! Today's image is another from my trip to the Cumbres & Toltec last summer. I quick took this picture when we were in Antonito, Colorado, the final stop on our trip. I was going to get on the bus for the trip back to Chama, New Mexico. The train ride and lunch stop takes about 6 hours and the bus ride back is only about 40 minutes. The train ride is much more fun and scenic.
I felt like revisiting some summery scenery today. Looking forward to it being warm all the time again. This is from my trip on the Cumbres & Toltec Rwy. We were coming up from Chama New Mexico towards Osier Station in Colorado to have lunch. This is one of the lovely views of southern Colorado you experience from the train.
It's Friday, TGIF! Today's image is of a couple of Bumblebees that were enjoying my Cosmos flowers. There is a bit of my favorite bubbly bokeh behind them so sharing for today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!
I felt for a butterfly today and what could be better than a couple of Monarchs. 😊 These were visiting my Autumn Sedum in mid September.
It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog, the first one of the new year! I want to start off the year with one of my favorites. This is Nipple Cactus, named for the small bud like parts of the main cactus. It normally blooms in May and June. It likes dry rocky soil so I hope mine survives again this winter as I need to move it. Where I have it planted has become a depressed area for some reason and several plants have grown taller and block much of the sunlight. I love the flowers it gets.
