Bird

This unusual bird was hanging out on the outskirts of the main street in Grand Lake, Colorado. I'm not sure what kind of bird it is, but it sure was unexpected near a frozen lake up in the mountains.

UPDATE: Liza at Postcards from Colorado just left a comment informing me of this painting:

Grand Lake and hints of Autumn

We hiked 8 miles or so in the west part of Rocky Mountain National Park yesterday - by Grand Lake. It was a perfect cool fall day without a cloud in the sky.

Interesting moss on some of the dead pines (beetle kill) in the park

A pretty bad photo of the bull moose we saw from the road as we left the park. He had his head in the bushes most of the time but we got a good look at him through binoculars.
