I went down to photograph the rising waters of the Animas this evening, but ended up distracted by this beautiful osprey.

A photo that I retook on several occasions during the trip in Senja back in 2023 to best capture the experience of being there in the field - freezing and observing these bare trees battling the snowstorm.

The deluge has begun in Durango. I got out during a brief break in the rain and the clouds were hugging the mountains that surround town.

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Fallorado #AutumnVibes #Fog

Low clouds drift through a rugged, tree-covered mountainside, partially veiling ridgelines and rocky outcrops; muted autumn greens and browns show beneath the mist on an overcast day.

Another look at that beautiful waterfall I photographed a couple of weeks ago.
