These images are from a photo safari I undertook this week in Jefferson, Colorado, in between intense empathy and hand-wringing.

We had a visit from a beautiful mule deer here at Little House in the Rockies this week. She wasn’t at all skittish or shy.

Grab a cup of coffee and I’ll walk you through a couple of happy hours I spent with my camera on Easter afternoon at the Tarryall Reservoir State Wildlife Area.

Our fence posts seemed to be a set of crosses with a message: Spring is here, the tomb is empty, and resurrection, rebirth and new growth are real.

The backstory for this (hopefully) enigmatic haiku is a tale of a search through my photo library.

I’d like to be on that porch at Little House in the Rockies, looking at that sunset, feeling the mountain air, shivering just a little.

The plucky wheelbarrow atop a Colorado mountain is resting but ready for action. I would want it on my side in a fight.

This is my patriotism: I want it to be America the Beautiful forever. For my kids, and yours.
