A weathered log cabin stands in a sunlit grassy clearing, backed by tall pines and aspens at the edge of a Colorado forest. The air feels crisp, carrying the scent of grass and pine. #Photography #Landscape #Colorado #Rustic

The best I can figure out is this is a Rose-Breasted Grosbeak, seen at Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge. (Merlin couldn't identify this bird). I think his wild bed-head look is due to early spring molting, which in my opinion, makes him look super cool. #Stunday #Wildlife #Photography

Myrtle Spurge ~ Apparently there's a love/hate relationship with this plant. Some consider it a noxious weed. I found LOTS of this planted in a church garden near my home. It's pretty but you wouldn't want to touch it. It can cause blistering to skin. Go figure. I think it's quite pretty. 🤷
