About the Author – Melissa J. Walker
I grew up in North Louisiana and enjoyed summer vacations in the West. After receiving my B.A. and M.A. degrees from Colorado College, I worked for over two decades in the Pikes Peak Region as the Lead Park Naturalist for Bear Creek Nature Center, North Cheyenne Cañon Park, Beidleman Environmental Center and Garden of the Gods Park, and now serve on the Board of Friends of Garden of the Gods Park. I hike, bird watch and snowshoe as often as possible and enjoy writing about my experiences to share with you.
Melissa,
This is great! What a fabulous vehicle for your talents.

Melissa, this looks wonderful! I will take more time to really look at the whole site when I have a little more time to spare. But I posted a link to my Facebook account so I can share it (and you!) with all my friends. Thank you, my friend! ~Susan

I visit from time to time but I’d visit more if you would remind me.
Dear Melissa:
I’ve meant to tell you how much I enjoy your blog and photos. One day, I keep telling myself, I will go snowshoeing.
And thanks for reading The Middle Distance. I loved our comment today. Thank God for memories of exuberant youthful friendships to get us through.
Blessings,
Kathryn Eastburn
found your site while trying to identify a bird I took a picture of at bear creek today. check out my site, I have some good pictures of a pair of hawks that live along Lake ave. in the springs. love your site.
Thanks – glad you found my site. I checked out your photos and particularly like the fox and nuthatch series. You’ll never run out of subjects here in the Pikes Peak Region!
Your beautiful writing makes me homesick. What a treat to see those bobcats. Love your blog.
