It is never too late to go quietly to our lakes, rivers, oceans, even our small streams, and say to the sea gulls, the great blue herons, the bald eagles, the salmon, that we are sorry. - Brenda Peterson

LONELY BULL
Cows run away from the storm while the buffalo charges toward it - and gets through it quicker. Whenever I’m confronted with a tough challenge, I do not prolong the torment, I become the buffalo. -

White on white - American White Pelican
Each year approximately 10,000 of these magnificent birds migrate to Gunnison Island in the Great Salt Lake. This is an island that isn't reachable by land in any way. Thus, they nest and raise their young without fear of any predators.

"WILEY"
Why do we profess to so love and adore and worship and seek closeness to the wolf, the supposed poster child for all that's remote, wild and free, the mournful soul-searching stuff of poetry and song, not to mention fawning documentaries and movies, while at the same time we're taught to despise and persecute by any means — bullet, trap, wire, poison — its close cousin and equally beautiful and rightful occupant of the wild, the coyote?

Close to being grounded by the blizzard
I spent four nights sleeping in the back of my van while this blizzard did it's dirty work. Two of those nights the temperatures dropped below 10 degrees above zero. The roads were virtually impassable. The Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge was closed. What work I got accomplished was done around the small ponds outside of the refuge. The effort was worth it despite the weather.
