Milk Weed, from bud to flower, posing nicely in the evening sunlight.
Everywhere we look on our daily walk milk weed is springing forth. Most plants have buds just waiting to burst into flower while a few have started their blooms. We all know milkweed is an important flower for the Monarch Butterfly but given its abundance it helps sustain many pollinators both large and small.
Summer is truly upon us…on your mark, get set….go.

Look but don’t touch. Valuable goods contained in this pod. Natures way of keeping life going.
It’s always nice to have something you can count on. Although it may not always occur on your schedule or terms nature always makes good on the promise of spring.
Despite the fact that mornings are starting to dip below freezing, this little guy is still hanging in there and looking quite comfortable with his antennae blowing in the breeze on a colorful fall morning.
As we stood watching the golden leaves fall from the trees one leaf seemed to fall off a branch then back into a tree. Upon closer inspection it was this beautiful dragon fly dressed in fall colors.
Just a little caterpillar making their way through the grass on dewy fall morning. Enjoy the journey and have a great day.
We were up high in the mountains a week or two ago and much to our surprise there were numerous butterflies going about their business even as the nights have been cold and the flowers have long died out for this season. Must be slim pickings this time of year for this wonderful comma butterfly foraging on Lichen, Rocks and Spruce.
Photographed near treeline in Rocky Mountain National Park.
A corn ear worm moth spending time with one of our favorite late bloomers in the area the Rabbit Brush plant. Love the beautiful yellows of this plant in bloom and it looks like the moth does as well.
Even the rock are dressed in the latest fall fashions.
Perched upon a Coneflower full of Pollen this Bee is indeed on top of their world. Better hurry the flowers are going fast.
