Solstice rays

Solstice sunrise gleams,
first rays of dawn portending
shorter days ahead.

Fog over Sheep Mountain; First frost

cold tickles, first frost—
a fine sheen reflects stacked coins–
fog shrouds Sheep Mountain.

Make hay while the sun shines

 

Stacked like golden coins,
summer’s promise, winter’s hope,
waiting to be spent.

Sunrise blessing

 

Sunrise bleeds into
morning, day, season’s turning,
this blessing, a gift.

Surprise!

 

Welcome to the world
twin calves, surprising their mom,
a first calf heifer.

Winter Wildlife

moose on the highway near Battle Mountain

 

 

Winter-time wildlife,
seeking shelter from the storm—
Will spring ever come?

Antelope on the high desert steppe

All inclusive Wyoming resort

Where’s the corn?

 

Cows in Laradise,

far from mountain drifts and draws—

inclusive resort!

Winter Romance

Bucks in the chute

 

 

December romance
Sweet nothings from powdered rams,
lead to lambs in May.

 

 

Cora bringing them up

off to find the ladies

Hunting Season

 

     The forest is full
     of folks seeking solitude. . .
     the thrill of the hunt.

Deer dreams

Mule deer watching

 

 

Mule deer in winter
prowling,patient in dry brush,
waiting for green grass.
