The Banks of the Poudre

This lovely photograph was taken a couple of weeks ago on an early morning and early spring stroll at Sterling Natural Area in Fort Collins.  The Poudre River forms the Western Boundary of the Natural Area, more or less, and to get this shot I stood ankle deep in the gloppy river sediment.  On top of the embankment in the right of the photo I found the remains of a mature fox, obviously eaten, several days later there were reports of a mountain lion in the area.  Better the fox than the school kids, I guess.  Well, none of that is depicted here, you get to enjoy the calm reflective beauty of a river as it flows into spring.
