A Wood Nymph Butterfly taking a break in the shade on a warm summer afternoon.
The exact species I hesitate to take a guess on so if anyone can help out it would be appreciated.

Tomato on a stick
Well not a tomato but a wonderful plump and healthy looking male American Robin giving me the left profile.
Straight on head shot.
And to cap it off the right profile.
Yes a common bird but just consider how much pleasure a common bird gives. A wonderful sight to see, song to listen to and those debates on how a Robin hunts their worms…they are listening, no they are looking.
Hats of to the American Robin.
Ruffled Feathers
Never hurts to ruffle a few feathers.

A male Cassin’s Finch enjoying an afternoon break on a small wild rose-bush. These guys have a wonderful song distinct from other small finches and a pleasure to the ear.
P.S. Happy summer or winter to everyone out there.
Glowing
I am terrible at dragonfly identification so if anyone out there can help with giving this guy the proper respect he deserves with a common and scientific name it would be appreciated.
Anyway this guy was sitting in the afternoon light glowing a wonderful copper glow on a small spruce tree which if I can say so complimented his color well.
Monday Moose
A cool drink of water and warm sunrise. Not a bad start to the week for this male moose just growing this years antlers.
Happy Monday and have a great week.
Free
A Raven soars below as we walk above.
Freedom to roam is freedom indeed.
Rain, rain…
A female Cassin’s Finch finds ample shelter under a large spruce on a recent rain-soaked afternoon.
A quick look up and …hey the sky looks lighter to the west.
Fuzzy
Looks like this little guy could use a shave but that will have to wait until he is done enjoying a nice cool drink.
Yellow Rumped (Audobons) Warbler
Nothing like the sound and the all to uncommon sight of a male Audobons Warbler on a cool overcast afternoon. All to often this bird spends most of its time up high in the canopy of the spruce trees in our area so it was nice to see him down low that afternoon.
