We heard this female Sparrow chirping away and singing non stop from the other side of the lake. When we got nearer to her she went silent but did allow a few quick photos before darting back into the thicker brush along the lakeshore.

A songsters song
One of your favorite birds to hear is the Grey Catbird. Their song can go one and on and it is always fun to just sit for a bit and listen to them sing.
In Tatters
A comma Butterfly sipping sweet nectar and still going strong even though they look to have gone through the ringer with wings in tatters. Resilience in action.

On a stem
A bounty of wildflowers with vibrant color bursting forth on a single stem.
Photographed early July on a single hike in Yellowstone NP.
Makes you want to pluck them up and use them as paintbrushes they are so full of color.
Twice is nice.
We saw each of these fuzzy little caterpillars on two consecutive hikes. It is just amazing the forms that life on this wonderful plant takes.
Room to Roam
We recently had a chance to make a quick drive through Teodore Rosevelt Nation Park and were stuck by the wonderful, open and rugged nature of a landscape with plenty of room to roam and were also reminded of this quote by a President who many consider the greatest conservation Pesident our country has seen.
“We have become great because of the lavish use of our resources. But the time has come to inquire seriously what will happen when our forests are gone, when the coal, the iron, the oil, and the gas are exhausted, when the soils have still further impoverished and washed into the streams, polluting the rivers, denuding the fields and obstructing navigation.”
That quote spoken over one hundred years ago still rings true today and we are finding out what will happen.
Mr. Rosevelt we need you again today.
It’s a Pleasure to Meet You
A Tri-Colored Bumble Bee getting acquainted with a Purple Coneflower. Although the introductions were awkward the date was a success.
On a cloudy day
On a cloudy day a hike into the misty mountains yields much needed nature therapy. At first there is resistance but once the feet hit the trail and the rain jacket put on it all seems to feel just right.
Quick Hello
A quick hello from a Mule Deer along the tail on a nice summers day.
Quiet time
One of our favorite forest singers the Warbling Vireo enjoying a bit of quiet time while on the nest. By now the eggs have hatched and young have left the nest. The next generation is on its way.
