Painted brush are just so cool. They are a companion on my yearly wanderings. In spring they are blooming in the deserts and foothills and they follow me along into the high mountains in the peak of summer. So many colors, the fuzz, and the shape, I just might have to post more as the summer progresses as every new photo becomes an old friend.
For the next week or so images previously posted will reappear on the blog. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for all your support and wonderful feedback it really is appreciated.

This little butterfly made a short visit to these small plants for just a quick sip of nectar. That tongue was digging deep but perfectly designed to do the job. Amazing.
From Bees to Beetles to Butterflies the humble coneflower befriends them all.
Several types of bees all in the same five minutes time. We counted over five.
Pollen sacks are getting full and it looks like it is time to return to the hive.

Then along comes this beetle on an unopened bud.
Bugs and flowers go hand and hand. This little black and yellow guy was probing for nectar while doing a little polinating at the same time. One of the things that is fun about macro photography is getting a glimpse into a world you really can not see with the naked eye and all too often we forget that just because we can not see something it does not matter.
Dancing gently in the breeze these flowers made a walk along this trail one to remember.
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.
In a spot, a favorite spot, one that never fails to deliver a hillside full of sunny goodness along the trail. Near Crested Butte, CO.
There is a feeling on a summer evening when the heat of the day has gone.
A lone wildflower growing where a shaft of light just makes it’s way into a dimly light forest trail.
