It kind of bums me out that such a beautiful early morning walk produced so little product for this post. The tone is best demonstrated by the Double-crested Cormorant pictured here that I caught yawning on the bank of the Arkansas River. Today’s featured image is a downriver shot of the Spring runoff as it flows through the Spring Morning at Lake Pueblo State Park. The one action shot that I got is posted below – an Osprey pulling up with its catch. This bird was so far away that this image is barely good enough to post – but it is kind of dramatic.
