I watched this wolf sneak through the sagebrush in Yellowstone. It paused, looked right in my direction, and continued on its way. Its perfect for International Wolf Day today.

The last full moon of summer climbed above the horizon like a ball of fire. Its warmth and beauty were mesmerizing. Sturgeon Moon 2025 #fullmoon #moonlover #moon #lunar #landscape #nightlandscape

From behind the brush came this doe and little fawn. The fawn was full of energy. I had to giggle as it kicked up its heels and was having the time of its life.

A closer look at the Buck Moon. The color fades as the moon rises but its beauty never fades. I captured this shot of the brighter side of the moon through the tree branches.

The warm glow from the Buck Moon skimmed across the surface of the lake as a faint breeze brushed against my face.

The glow of the fire in the night sky was seen from miles away. The amber flames drew me closer. I discovered a farmer was burning off his harvested crop field. The lightning from the incoming storm lit the sky behind the fiery flames as I was recording. What a beautiful sight!

What do you long for on a hot summer day? The sound of the water flowing through this beautiful little creek and cool shade hit the spot.

The night emerged with soft pastels beneath the wispy clouds. The colors skimmed the surface of the pond as the stars twinkled above.

The sun waltzed through the clouds and across the slopes of the field. The beautiful barn stood on a hill above the pasture. Sounds of the farm were heard in the distance as the cows grazed in the lush grass along the creek.

Days of torrential rain filled the local rivers beyond their banks. Shoal Creek at Grand Falls was moving fast. The textures and colors were captivating.

The storms were raging and the rivers were flowing out of their banks, but this little goose was "singing" in the rain.

Alone in the darkness, so quiet yet so alive with the sounds of the night...surrounded by vibrant colors dancing in the field and sky!

I've been monitoring these baby hawks, also called "eyas," as they have weathered the strong storms. There are two cuties in the nest. Those fuzzy little heads are beautiful!

Sometimes you need to tuck your nose in and take a little snooze. I'm so loving this fox.

This little eaglet stretched a bit and then began calling for its parent to feed it. The sound of the babbling water in the river below sounded beautiful in the background.

Raising an eaglet must be exhausting...this eagle was taking a quick break as it perched on a branch overlooking its nest.

The sun shone down into the eagle's nest. My eyes were focused on the adult, but I honed in on the branches of the nest. I was hoping to see an eaglet, and to my delight a fuzzy, little head appeared in the shadows! This eaglet looks to be about a month old.

The crabapple tree is getting colorful. Is it just me or does the front blossom look like a set of lips...nature's fragrant kiss to Spring. #crabapple #crabappleblossom #crabappletree #Spring

Ever get caught with one eye open? It was perfect timing...I was down on the ground watching this big beauty clawing its way toward me...and then...the eye roll.

"You say today is the first day of spring? Did anyone tell the weather? Should I wear my sweater or my shorts? Weather in the Ozarks is a bit wild this year."

The Carthage Courthouse amidst the dust storm. I took this photo from the Rt 66 bridge. The bridge is also known as the Whee Bridge or Tickle Tummy Bridge due of it's steep peak and slopes. #dust #duststorm #courthouse #carthage #missouri #historiccourthouse #historicroute66 #route66 #rt66

After driving through the tornado-threatening weather, this amazing sunset became visible. The colors were like a pastel painting. I drove along the powerful storms until dark.
