Lulu might be a dog from the deep Texas coast but rolling around in the snow sure is her thing.

I came across this fellow sunning itself under the warming morning sun on my way out to the goldfields near Stanton, Arizona. I didn't want it to get run over by some other car so I encouraged it to get off the road. Definately not a happy camper as it assumed an aggressive posture and rattled loudly but eventually retreated to the safety of the scrub.

(Unfortunately it was very windy so it's hard to hear the buzzing of its rattles)

This rattlesnake might only be about a foot in length but it already had a disagreeable disposition and wasn't happy to be disturbed while warming itself in the early Spring sun. Although just a youngster this rattler is not something to be messed with.

A few minutes of peace in the beautiful town of Spearfish. Although not a "natural" waterfall as it was created when the small park was created a number of years ago it is still a beautiful spot to sit and relax.

Spearfish Falls is one of the three waterfalls located in Spearfish Canyon in the Northern Black Hills region near Spearfish, SD. At one time the creek was diverted to produce power for the Homestake Mine and the falls were dry. Now the falls have returned to their former beauty with the power plant idled for years and the water flow in Spearfish Creek returned to its normal flow.

Each year up to 50,000 Snow Geese (Anser caerulescens) and the similar Ross Geese (Anser rossii) overwinter at the Bosque del Apache NWR near San Antonio, NM. Here they spend the days feeding on grains and grasses in the flooded marshes to fatten up and gather their energy for the long migration back to their Summer breeding grounds in northern Canada. Here a flock is at the main viewing pond off the North Loop Road near the main entrance into the refuge. In a few short weeks they will depart on the long flight north. Enjoy.

During the winter months the Bosque del Apache in New Mexico provides food and shelter to thousands of these magnificent birds as well as many other migrating waterfowl. Here a flock is enjoying feeding on the cut corn fields in the northern part of the refuge.

It's always bittersweet to look back sometimes. My old girl Bella was a great companion back when I was away from my family while working up in Colorado. It's great to look back at good times, especially when all you needed was a Lab and her ball in a city park.

Hundreds of turkeys populate the fields and forests of the Bosque del Apache NWR. They can be found frequently in large groups looking for corn and grains throughout the refuge.

Come along to the Bosque del Apache NWR in New Mexico and watch as the Sandhill Cranes return at dusk to their roosting ponds after spending the day feeding in the many fields in and around the refuge.
