Power line rocky outcrop
Came across these two when actively looking. Rare to see them. Good to have your phone camera with you at all times. Best way to find them is cool day (mornings) and hot sun. Learned this trick when looking for cobras while mountain biking in Stellenbosch, South Africa.
Full frame pair.

The fountain and statues were hidden and transformed by massive amounts of gentle snow landing on them, they all knew each was nearby yet it looked like they were hiding from each other in some sort of disguised form.

Magnificent natural predators doing important work! They are ambush hunters so they always give a good pose. Still, photo taken at a distance out of respect.

Looks like she’s heading out soon for the hunt. Different morning as the others in the series but likely the same couple. They give live birth so hopefully I can capture the young family portrait.

Was walking the Johnston and Jewett preserves a couple weeks before our big storm. Now, with deep snow and frigid temps, the desire to retreat inside is strong. But this image of a sleeping upland meadow and the Eightmile River valley compels otherwise. Out we go!

Looking out my back window after a night of dark, wintry conditions and to wake to see the natural beauty of the land looking like someone had left a frosted cake was an astonishing sight- especially after just returning from a tropical vacation the day before. As nice as sandy beaches and palm trees were, it didn’t make me breathe like this did.
