Just above tree-line we encountered a wonderful alpine garden. Innumerable varieties of alpine wildflowers packed to the gills growing in rockiest of rocky soil most only inches tall.
It was had to traverse the path up the ridge without an ill feeling of stepping on these wonderful flowers. 
So we just settled down close to the ground and photographed a field of flowers that seemed a universe unto it’s own. 
Wishing you a wonderful weekend and hope you can all enjoy a bit of time outside.
There she was a beautiful Triteleia Grandiflora just hanging out minding her own business.
When who should appear and sit down beside her…
But this small little spider.
They make a fine couple don’t you think?
Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend.
It’s just polite to say hello and acknowledge the people around you…Goats included.
A Wilsons Snipe makes a brief appearance from the tall-green grasses of summer that lined the ditch to perch on a rock.
Monday morning meeting are no way to start the week unless it’s a nice short meeting with a fine coworker as was the case with this little butterfly. We met out in a field, cup of coffee in hand, had a quick discussion that was completely on point, then got right to work. No, not all meetings are bad.
Late July and the Dragons do fly. Yes, summer is speeding along and when the birds go a bit silent this time of year the dragonflies take to the sky.
A handful of photos of some of the locals.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
Keep healthy and stay safe.
A ruffed grouse emerges from the deep grass to perch for a moment on a beautiful weathered log. It was not long before they hopped down and disappeared from sight just a quickly as they appeared.
A summer afternoon thunderstorm brews behind while the sun still shines ahead. A lovely summer day indeed.
The wildflowers were still singing and the music was sweet as sweet can be.
A symphony of yellow and purple as color was transformed to sound this summer day.
Happy Monday and wishing you a wonderful week.
A Western Grebe swimming silently into the wonderful evening light.
