More mountain lion kittens!

I love seeing mountain lion kittens so much, and our forest seems to be full of them right now! This is a snippet of the video - please see the link to the full video in the comments.

The mountain lion families in my area continue to delight me. This family visited a scrape in beautiful daylight.

Scary moment for a moose calf

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.

Predators at a mountain wallow

A tree fell across a wallow in a meadow on my land. To my surprise, it was a popular spot for raptors and mustelids. Do you think that the weasels are long tailed or short tailed?

 

Like lace

 The ice is almost like lace.

Delicate Ice

The ice was so intricate on this day. It was hard to believe that, although it looked very delicate, the running water didn't break it or wash it away.

 

 

My lucky year

 From yesterday. This has already been quite a year for creek 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.

 

Open water

A magnificent day on the creek.

 

Delicate ice

 

From our most recent thaw. The creek opened up in a few places, and then the ice started to reform.
