“Looking Down for Prey”
An American kestrel, one of my favorite birds, perched on a power line in northern Colorado and casting a downward glance looking for mice in the field below.

“Swan Lake”
Trumpeter swans on a frozen lake in northern Colorado yesterday afternoon. These swans, along with tundra swans, migrate through Colorado during this time of year.

I originally borrowed @noel.swails (on Instagram) lens to photograph the northern lights but they didn’t show up again so I ended up using it for the Alps instead.

I’m a complete beginner when it comes to landscape photography so I wasn’t expecting much. But looking at the photos now, I’m honestly surprised by how well they turned out. There was something incredibly refreshing about carrying almost no weight and still being able to capture moments that felt special. The snow made everything look softer, brighter, and more peaceful.

It felt good to step out of my comfort zone and try something new especially since I haven’t been in the mood to post animals lately. So here’s a little change of scenery.
I’m happy I took the chance, happy I tried and even happier that these images let me share a bit of that quiet winter magic with y‘all💜❄️

“The Gathering Gloom”
Storm clouds over the Rawhide Energy Station in northern Colorado. I also spotted 4 bald eagles here yesterday (3 adults, 1 juvenile, probably 3rd year).
