Environment:Start Time: 2:45 PM Temperature: 60 degrees Sky: Sunshine and Clouds There was no plan for me to go out to Lake Pueblo State Park today. Weather forecasters were predicting afternoon winds and the morning was cloudy and cool. But long about 2 PM the Sun popped out and there was no trace of the rumored wind. Arctic cold is predicted for the next three days so I headed out to see what there was to see. As it turned out things were pretty mellow and, like yesterday, my sunshine was swallowed up by a cloud bank halfway through my…

Environment:Start Time: 9:10 AM Temperature: 40 degrees Sky: Sunshine light breeze Forecasts of a warmish afternoon made me decide to take a chance on a morning walk today. This turned out to be a pretty good decision. Apparently I was not alone in this course of action as the park and the Arkansas River were pretty busy. Today’s featured image shows just how busy the river was with humans and pelicans competing for space. The eagles are still haunting the fishing pond though no one was in the mood to dazzle me with a display of fishing prowess. Still, this…

Environment:Start Time: 9:45 AM Temperature: 46 degrees Sky: Sunshine ,no clouds with mild breeze Yet another warmish morning lured me out for an early stroll along the Arkansas River. Of course, I wanted to partake of all the eagles that have been hanging around lately. There were eagles but they were not doing much except perching in hard to photograph locations. I did manage to ambush one and a front and back view is posted below. There were quite a few woodpeckers flitting around today – both Hairy and Downy. Posted here is what I think is a Hairy Woodpecker….

Environment:Start Time: 10:25 AM Temperature: 43 degrees Sky: Sunshine with chilly breeze A dicey weather forecast for this afternoon and some pretty decent morning temps brought me out for a morning stroll at Lake Pueblo State Park. One of the better decisions I’ve made in my life. Right from the get-go it was literally eagle, eagle, eagle! I stepped out of my car and saw two adult American Bald Eagles perched on the southwestern edge of the Anticline Fishing Pond. I wasted no time heading over there and taking as many captures as I could. It was pretty exciting when…

Environment:Start Time: 2:35 PM Temperature: 53 degrees Sky: Sunshine light breeze My new friend, the Bald Eagle, was perched off the trail in about the same spot as yesterday. I decided to chance a little mud on my shoes and tromped out for a better shot. Fortunately this bird is not the skittish type and patiently waited for me to find a nice clear view. I guess he finally got bored with me because eventually this perch was abandoned and off it flew probably to give some other photographer a thrill. Today’s featured image is the bird in flight. Posted…
