Oh no, looks like I have unpublished photos from as far back as February!
In late February I went to see the snow geese migration at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area near Lancaster. I waited for a couple hours in the freezing cold with a crowd of other people and was finally rewarded by a mass takeoff of geese from the lake, which sounded like a jet engine. One little kid described it best, as “an Armageddon of birds!”
A week later, on March 12th, we had the biggest snowstorm of the year.
Over the first week of April I took a ski trip with two college friends out West. We visited Grand Teton and Jackson Hole in Wyoming, Steamboat and Keystone in Colorado, starting and finishing in Denver. We saw the mountain towns of Casper, Jackson, Steamboat Springs and Breckenridge. Aside from excellent skiing (maybe less so in April) the Rockies are one of the most picturesque regions in the country, and I couldn’t help spending hours lining up different shots of the mountains.
In May, we had a lunar eclipse which I was lucky enough to see in between storm systems. Here are a bonus snake and toad from a recent hike.
