Swan Rangers studied shapes and sounds during their outings this past week!

Scroll down to see the rest of their photos and details!

In our lead photo, Keith Hammer and a couple friends went on a 12-mile hike in search of bugling bull elk . . .

. . . while Ruth Quist appears to have had a much easier time of it!

While Keith and friends didn't see or hear any elk, they were treated to scenery like this!

Dee Blank found a daytime full moon that turned out to be a radar dome!

Keith Hammer found a rising sun filtered by wildfire smoke and . . .

. . . Jan Lord found this beautiful rainbow while “sittin' on the dock of the bay!”

Marilyn Wood found interesting shapes and colors in this rock and . . .

. . . found water shaped like a waterfall!

Art Rzasa leaves the shape of this water to our imagination!

Ruth Quist caught this Cormorant taking flight and . . .

. . . Keith Hammer found dozens of Sandhill cranes alighting on golden fields of grain stubble!

In our parting shot, Keith Hammer wonders if, with the suspension bridge planking removed for winter, shouldn't the load limit be suspended too?”

If you have interesting photos of your outings, send them along with a description to keith@swanview.org and we'll try to work them into these weekly reports!
