This summers bounty of Indian Paint Brush was like getting that big box of crayons you always wanted as a child. So many colors, so much fun to be had.
And the best thing about getting the big box is that there are plenty of crayons to share.
Happy Friday and wishing you a wonderful weekend.

A bit of summers bounty made monochrome. From Arnica to Camus to Cows Parsnip and more. Enjoy.
This American Toad was spending the morning laying low just waiting to bugs to fly by and become their morning meal. If you look close I think you can see the evidence of a successful catch.
When you find yourself taking a walk through the park and hear the orchestra playing you just have to sit down and enjoy the show.

Ratibida columnifera, aka Mexican Hats, is a native wildflower that is both drought tolerant a wonder to look at. Plus it makes a great place for a Skipper Butterfly to take a little siesta.
Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend.
A boisterous and sociable Raven took some time to sit for a portrait.
Harebells, or Bleubells if you prefer, have been a constant and happy companion of our hikes this summer. From sunny meadows to forested trails to hikes above tree line these flowers were always with us.
Harebells were Plant of the week on the USDA website and the linked articles contains some interesting facts describing the plants, it habitats and propagation methods.
A fairly ubiquitous flower yet one that really stands out.
