Almost like a drip from a leaky faucet this plant was sowing seeds slow and one at a time on a windless afternoon. One let loose and another follows. A wonderful display of flow in slow motion.

A Hop and a Jump
This time the jump got the better of the hop as a Bold Jumping Spider makes a meal of the grasshopper.
Good as Gold
The Aspen tress are doing their thing and a day spent soaking it up is an experience as good as gold.
Dibs
Hey, I called Dibs on this Coneflower.
We have had many Painted Lady butterflies visiting the area this summer and with nectar at a premium competition did seem to heat up for the best coneflowers in the field.
On the Mullen
A female Downey Head Woodpecker found the Mullen plant to her liking this morning as she spent quite a bit of time hunting and then pecking away for a meal.
She inspected the plant then with target in sight and eyes closed tight she pecked away like only a woodpecker can peck.
Then back again for another round on the beautiful Mullen plant.
West Elks
Looking out into the West Elk WIlderness in central Colorado.
Worth the effort
An Ornate Checkered Beetle climbs the milkweed in search of pollen and his efforts are fully rewarded.
Glacier Lilly
Up high in the mountains where the snow is just melting the Glacier Lilies are starting to appear. The dark green background made for a fun conversion to BW as the sunlight gently illuminates the petals of this wonderful flower.
Just Right
Something about this dandelion must have been just right.
Mighty Mink
While out at a local lake on our kayaks we were treated to a very unexpected sight…a mink hunting crawfish. This guy/gal was working the shoreline and caught at least two crawfish while we watched from out in the lake on our kayaks. We had no idea mink lived along the shores of this lake and have never seen one before. Another reminder that those little moments sure can make your day.
