While there may not be much snow this winter, ther While there may not be much snow this winter, there is approximately just enough to still make foxes look majestic ❄️ #FionatheFox
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGGGGG HUGE BUCKET LIST CHECK!! I OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGGGGG HUGE BUCKET LIST CHECK!! I literally think about seeing a mountain lion every day. I look for them constantly. Everytime I leave my driveway I look for them at the spot they killed the deer a couple years ago (when I somehow didn’t see them). Every day. For years. Looking and hoping. I’ve always said that i wanted to see one from somewhere safe, yet close, and I got my wish. The timing was quite perfect in other ways as well. I feel so lucky. 2021 has been redeemed. 🌟 🦁 💫 #mountainlion #coloRADo
Please send more snow. The 3” we’ve gotten so Please send more snow. The 3” we’ve gotten so far this Jan ain’t cutting it. However I imagine the deer don’t mind... #coloRaDo #prayforsnow #deerfriend
I can’t see one of our few herds of “wild” b I can’t see one of our few herds of “wild” bison in this country (are any of them wild if not allowed to roam as they please?) without wishing I could have seen the American Serengeti before we senselessly slaughtered all the creatures that called it home. What I would give to go back in time and see the millions of bison as far as the eye could see. Every time I’m with a precious herd, it’s all I can long for - a world again one day without fences and invisible lines for these herds. Take me back. #bison #coloRADo
Oh hi little Red Crossbill! I love these little gu Oh hi little Red Crossbill! I love these little guys so much. This year they’re a little sparse because we don’t have much of a cone crop on our surrounding trees, but in good years they will take over. A few years ago I noted them feeding their babies at our feeders in April...which is basically the heaviest snows of winter here and I was so confused as to what they were doing with young soooo early! I have since learned that if there is a good cone crop they can breed any time of year...even the dead of winter. Such unique little birds. #redcrossbill #crossbill
Snowing a wee bit today, finally. ❄️ #greathor Snowing a wee bit today, finally. ❄️ #greathornedowl
I’d gladly trade this dry, mild, January evening I’d gladly trade this dry, mild, January evening for some much needed snow...but still, it was an undeniably nice after work happy hour today. Ready for tomorrow’s measly little snowstorm! Please send more. #coloRADo
What a great end to a long weekend. Snuck in a qui What a great end to a long weekend. Snuck in a quick run before dark, and the payoff was spectacular! I love you #coloRADo. 🧡 #elk
