this little finch and a friend were hopping around the ground a while, which was nice since i could get many close up pictures. this one was a fair bit rounder than her companion i think

while out at two guns with some friends at night, the full moon gained a halo due to the thick clouds blanketing the sky. we saw no stars but i think this was equally as cool.

these are from when i very smartly went out after several days of heavy snow. it was over 2 feet deep in some places ! it was kind of a nightmare to be out there but it was fun. to everybody else please dont do this.

this picture is certainly a favorite of mine. these silly little birds were all over while the ground was snowy.

male eastern bluebird showing off his ridiculously vibrant feathers. he came and posed wonderfully (stared in confusion) at me for several minutes which i greatly appreciated

twin arrows trading post

twin arrows was cooler than i anticipated. while usually i am very against grafitti-ing old ruins like this because i much more appreciate the raw, untouched abandoned vibe, this place i think is an exception. really neat place, lots to see for sure. i just wish that both the arrows were still standing :( also that green sculpture thing scared the hell out of me when i turned the corner it was so scary despite my friends casually standing nearby i thought it was a human

man i love this place. need to go back sometime and see it in the snow this winter.... also the fact the old hotel was arson'd a few years back before i ever got to see it makes me sad but luckily the rest of this old town is in surprisngly good shape
