A New Year at Cattail Chronicles
ppy New Year, and thank you for continuing to support Cattail Chronicles. We truly appreciate being able to share our photography journey with such a thoughtful and engaged community. The past year brought monumental changes for us. Monique’s studio is now fully up and running, and she continues to expand her business at a steady pace. We also opened a small gallery inside Silver Paw Studio and attended our first arts and crafts fair as vendors.
Photographing the American Dipper
The target for our vlog video this afternoon was Gateway Natural Area. We had wanted to return for a couple of reasons. The first and biggest was to see if the Pygmy Owls had returned to nest in the picnic area. The second was to photograph Kingfishers, of which we had seen plenty in past visits. These goals were not to be met. Well, mostly not met. A park ranger would distract us by dangling the offer to see an American Dipper’s nest. The offer was way too tempting.
Chasing the Light
We started our Moose Mission when we received reports of multiple gatherings of moose in Rocky Mountain National Park. The two sites that we were most interested in were Sheep Lakes and Sprague Lake. So, come Saturday morning we hauled our cameras and equipment to Sheep Lake to see what we could see. No moose. After a couple of hours of waiting for some sort of activity, we headed over to Sprague Lake.
