A pair of sandhill cranes gets things worked out over some unknown dispute. The snow geese, red-winged blackbirds, and mallards chose to ignore the affront (or is it an arrear?).
The Two Buttes 4,711’ (1,436 m) in southeastern Colorado is a prominent double-capped butte rising 356 feet (109 m) above the surrounding plains.
The Two Buttes was certainly known by the native Americans of the region (Comanche, Kiowa and Arapaho) and known to the Spanish of New Mexico (perhaps as early as 1706). However, no oral history, cartographic depiction, or written description of this unique feature of the Colorado plains have been found in indigenous or Spanish-colonial records.
The first known written description was noted by an American trapper/trader, Jacob Fowler, passing through what was then Spanish territory (now southeastern Colorado) in June 1822.

Coyote Buttes South, Arizona
Another shot from the Christmas trip. There are two area of Coyote Buttes South and this is from Cottonwood Cove. It is a larger area and has more fun to play with. It started to snow from the morning and the snow almost lasted the whole day. We drove a few miles of sandy road in snow and got there at noon. The weather was so bad we can't even see what was a few hundred feet away so we waited. After an hour or so it got a little better so we decided to give it a try. And glad we did. It started to clear little by little and the different view brought by fresh powder was fantastic.
Thanks for stopping by!
I took advantage of the winter storm over the weekend and snagged a sunrise shot out at Coyote Buttes. Some recent precip had filled up the little water pocket and the early morning glow really made the stripes pop. Hope you enjoy it!
Coyote Buttes South is less visited than the North and access is difficult which is good for me... less crowd.

The Pawnee Buttes are two prominent buttes located within the Pawnee National Grassland in Weld County, of northeastern Colorado. Rising approximately 300 feet above the surrounding plains, the buttes are erosional remnants left standing in isolation as the surrounding High Plains surface has gradually worn away. The lower portions of the buttes are composed of relatively soft, clay-rich sedimentary rock called the Brule formation. The Brule formation is protected by an overlying layer of sandstone and conglomerate sediments called the Arikaree formation, which are more resistant to weathering. - Wikipedia
