On Patrol
A coyote runs past, on the hunt for rabbits. It worked its way downwind and spent the next 20 minutes hunting back and forth once it knew where the humans were.
Flying Ibis
These Ibis, along with a number of other species of birds were everywhere in Brazos Bend State Park, taking advantage of high water for easy hunting.
crosshatch
Blowing snow crosses the lines of cracks in the ice in Echo Lake.
Ripe
Gooseberries ripen early at the tree line. As do other fruits; we found full patches of raspberries later.
Unplugged
Discarded WiFi antennas yellow as they age. One unneeded antenna per device turns into a massive pile of waste.
First Snow
The first snow of the year covers leaves which have not yet fully changed, let alone fallen.
ptarmigan
A white-tailed ptarmigan, halfway molted from summer plumage. I especially like the red eyelid you can see.
pipes
The parts of an old culvert aren’t worth moving away from the crossing they used to serve.
catch the storm
Not 5 minutes before, these clouds were dumping hail on Guenella Pass.
Cold Storage
Train cars wait on a siding by the St Louis river. The night is well into the negatives Fahrenheit.
