Been awhile since I've gone out and just took pictures of birds. So, Dad and I drove around Carson Valley over the weekend and here's some of the pictures I took.

🪶
A large brown bird (a juvenile bald eagle) with white speckled chest perches on the top of a wooden fence post, one of the taller ones of a four strand fence line with a variety of thin wooden and metal posts. The dark brown head with a dull yellow beak is facing towards the right. Long brown wings are hanging below the top of the post. Bare trees and tan grasses fill a field in the background. A red-tailed hawk is perched on the top of a sun bleached wooden fence post with a strand of barb wire below it. The dark brown wings rest against a white chest with a brown belly band. The brown head is turned lightly to the right of forward with a golden eye looking over a pale yellow beak. A Northern Harrier glides across a tan grass covered pasture, the striped wings and tail wide and flared with the distinctive white band across the top of the tail. In the distance, some small ducks (or geese?) have taken off and are flying away with winter dormant trees and pines in the distance.

The first US Post Office to open in what is now Nevada was at Mormon Station called Carson Valley on Dec 10, 1852. It was still Utah Territory at the time. E F Barnard served as the first Postmaster. The name would be changed to Genoa a few years later. bit.ly/341Nmsa

Carson Valley on an autumn afternoon.

It is a beautiful day for a bike ride.
A panorama of a high desert valley in the afternoon with cloudy skies and bordered by snow dusted mountains.

Carson Valley, Nevada a couple of years ago whilst I lived there.
The view is of a valley floor coming off the mountain range on the right side of the photo. There is a dirt road in the lower left foreground that stretches into the distance towards the mountains. A barbed wire fence with wooden posts and brush run an alongside the road. The valley floor has pale-colored shrubs in the foreground, then a golden-brown stretch of field beyond, stretching to the mountains. There is a double rainbow stretching up from the valley towards the mountains. The larger rainbow is somewhat faint in color, the second rainbow is very faint and only partial. The sky is blue with clouds over the mountains, then there are lenticular clouds on the right side over the valley. In between is blue sky.

#FencepostFriday
Morning light shining on a fence post in Carson Valley, Nevada. Carson Valley is known for its amazing clouds and the beauty of the Sierra Nevada mountains sloping down into the fertile valley below.
In the foreground is a rusty metal gate attached to a thick wooden post. A dirt road extends beyond the gate and leads to the distance which is snow-covered mountains. To the right of the road is a golden valley, flat and stretching as far as the eye can see. It is morning, so the colors are more intense; the fence post, gate, road, mountains and valley are bathed in golden light. The sky is blue with some decent-sized puffy white clouds.

An old stable located in Carson Valley, Nevada
An old red stable/barn that is surrounded by sage brush and a tree. The red barn contrasts nicely with the sage and with the blue sky.
