Kenai Nature Trail at the Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge, December 21, 2019.
A mix of mild temps, increasing clouds, a bit of wind, and changing skies.
Little Saint Joe and Saint Joseph Peak.
The swans are all tucked in for a little nap. Funny how they sleep.
Under the Big Sky.
There are a couple of boardwalks on this trail for crossing marshy areas during times of high water.
The continually changing light and clouds add interest to our late afternoon, early evening walk.
The layering effect of the clouds behind this lone tree fails to escape my eye.
The swans are awake and active again.
Much of this trail is in the open with a long panoramic view of the Bitterroot Mountains.
Discussing past and future destinations.
Saint Mary's Peak with a partial reflection in the water.
A downy woodpecker gives us a farewell on our way back out.
Looking forward to longer daylight hours ahead. :)
