Colorado Snow Christmas 2011

This Christmas was a doozy in terms of navigating through over a foot of snow. Getting our gate open alone was very entertaining as we had to roll the thing thru a mountain of snow. Going out of the driveway involved 4WD. Nonetheless we had a great Christmas.

 

 

 

Happy New Year



The Dark Phase Blue Goose-Blue Gray-White Head Snow Goose Variant

This weekend I had two surprises. One- a friend of mine suddenly showed up unanounced from Florida. Two- Oddities on the lake- a squadron of Canada Geese brought friends, some Snow Geese -the regular kind and their relatives, the Blue Goose. There was one Blue Goose w/a white head and one all gray goose flocking with the Snow Geese.

Predators in the Sky

I have two sets of permanent resident eagles and great horned owls. I'm thinking of setting up an ark.

The owls are my favorites.

Just try and find one in a large field when you have looked all over the county and no one is planting.
