It had rained so the sand had a dimpled look and on some shots it actually looks almost lacey. I thought it would be so easy and in truth is was physically easy but composition lets many down imho but never mind I thoroughly enjoyed myself. My dogs did their utmost best to ruin my shots but the ones i shall upload are happily paw print free..:)
I was out for sunrise (which was blocked by a heavy layer of clouds) on Gothic Road outside of Crested Butte, Colorado. I really liked the formation in this Aspen stand with early morning fog lifting from the trees.

A flock of pigeons at sunset
Pigeons and doves constitute the family Columbidae within the order Columbiformes, which include some 300 species of near passerine birds. In general parlance the terms "dove" and "pigeon" are used somewhat interchangeably. In ornithological practice, there is a tendency for "dove" to be used for smaller species and "pigeon" for larger ones, but this is in no way consistently applied, and historically the common names for these birds involve a great deal of variation between the term "dove" and "pigeon." This family occurs worldwide, but the greatest variety is in the Indomalaya and Australasia ecozones. The doves and pigeons are called "squabs."
Doves and pigeons build relatively flimsy nests from sticks and other debris, which may be placed in trees, on ledges, or on the ground, depending on species. They lay one or two eggs, and both parents care for the babies, which leave the nest after 7 to 28 days. Doves feed on seeds, fruit and plants. Unlike most other birds, the doves and pigeons produce "crop milk," which is secreted by a sloughing of fluid-filled cells from the lining of the crop. Both male and female produce this highly nutritious substance to feed to the babies.

This was taken a couple of weeks ago ... the ice is all gone now and the long winter is becoming a distant memory. We had a hot week last week with 30C + but it has cooled down again ... it's getting close to zero at night so Rosa is covering her gardens and potted plants to protect against frost.
Something for Losy on Blue Monday. :)

Formationsflug auf dem Hexenbesen
Formation flight on the witch broom
Vom Nordpol zum Südpol ist nur 'nen Katzensprung
Wir fliegen die Strecke bei jeder Witterung
Wir warten nicht wir starten was immer auch geschieht
Durch Wind und Wetter klingt das Fliegerlied:
Flieger, grüß mir die Sonne
Grüß mir die Sterne und grüß mir den Mond
Dein Leben, das ist das Schweben
Durch die Ferne, die keiner bewohnt.

I wanted to do this for ages but never got around to fiddling with different pieces to hold the shields in place... When the hiker and that face was released, i had to do it :)
Terrace formations at Mammoth Hot Springs area in Yellowstone National Park. Not sure exactly how these how these terrace-like formations develop, but they look really cool!
Watching the sheer beauty of Brown Pelicans 'in formation' will always catch my attention and awe of these prehistoric looking birds but when they are in breeding colors it's a double "WOW" for me.
I just noticed the 3rd one back has very little gold on the head!?
The Grandstand is an amazing rock formation that rises about a hundred feet above the northwest end of the Racetrack Playa. Processed with the Georgia O'Keefe filter in Topaz Impressions.
Happy Textural Tuesday!
