The River
-0-
Meandering eternal
Perennial, over miles and miles
Of barren deserts
Golden fields
And rugged canyon
From a faint trickle to
A booming roar
It contorts, it twists, it rushes
It flows
Moods ever changing
From a pensive calm
To a nurturing warmth
And a restless fury
In constant motion
A persistent quest
For its ocean
Where its spirit can lay to rest
Icing on the Cake 🙂
Yes you can! Literally! At Dinosaur Ridge National Natural Landmark located in Morrison, Colorado which is just west of Denver. It is where some of the world’s best known dino fossils were found including Apatosaurus, Diplodocus, Stegosaurus and Allosaurus. Here you will find beautifully preserved dinosaur tracks and bones of the Jurassic (144-208 million years ago) and Cretaceous period (144-65 million years ago) which were first discovered in 1877. Â Being there is like taking a monumentous step back in time.
Its rare that our feathered friends hangs around long enough for me to snap some close ups–but he/she did this time 🙂
Not an expert– I guess this one may be a Cooper’s Hawk.
