the birds are the new lens... I haven't had trouble motivating to get out over the years-- that's where I like to be, whether it's gardening climbing walking biking, doesn't mattter. But the birds are a new reason. Had a good day out-and-about with Clemmie and Gretch in the South Platte today-- a hike, a lunch, then a stop at split walk to walk up and down the river on the ice and jump back and forth a few times with Clem-- but now i've had a bit of a rest, a fresh cup of Joe and I'm ready to head out again, this time simply to a new spot-- one I've biked by a hundred times, seen guys fishing, but never stopped by with binoculars. Might be some interesting or different ducks down there... :)
Two pair of common golden eye camped out on our Morrison rez right now-- had a look at em this morning. Not typical, but they've been there 4-5 days. There's a small pond of free water within the larger pond that is still frozen-- about a fifth of it is water I spose. But after today more; it's been 50 degrees. Warm yesterday as well, following a good snow and freeze friday into friday night. (Sunday now).
so yeah-- bird, people, places-- cause the birds get me out to places I know but haven't REALLY got to know (you get to know em better walking slowly with binocs than you do biking through at 15mph). And then there are the people along the way too. Other birders, homeless guys, runners, yammers, couples, people with dogs, running groups-- all of em. They offer their own color and variety too, so they may get some notice in this here blog...
