Mink, mink, otter!
Because otters are threatened in Colorado, capturing video one in the creek by our house makes me very happy! It also was fun to see the very big fish that the mink caught in the creek.

Delicate Ice

Nature's Art
More incredibly gorgeous ice.
Nature's art awes me. And it's right outside my door. How did I get so lucky?

Mesmerizing Ice
I love contemplating the ice on the creek. The sound of the water gently gurgling past me is a mesmerizing backdrop to the visual beauty.

Tiny the Black Bear!
Tiny the black bear was still around last summer. He's an old bear by now but I was overjoyed to see him. Here is a video of him taking a bath.
