It does have a slight blue cast to it. I love the whites!

That’s a beautiful butterfly and he goes so nicely with those flowers. You must get more exercise than just about anyone.

Those asters are about all that’s still blooming for them, but there are plenty left.
At my age, Candace, I need to stay active or I’d become a stump. It’s so good to be able to get into the outdoors!

The butterfly looks great as do the flowers. And I really like the placement in the frame.

Thanks Ed. This little fellow wasn’t all that patient and it was on a very steep side hill, so there weren’t a lot of options, but I was pleased to get what I did!

I know what you mean, burstmode. I’m always thrilled to see them in the spring and sad when they retire for the winter. They always brighten the landscape.

After reading the name, I thought for sure you had found him in your pine logs while chopping them into firewood. 🙂 Its SO cute & fuzzy…is that big green thing on the side of its head, its eye?

Oh Montucky – this is beautiful. I’ve been away in Scotland for the past 3 weeks and will be popping up some photos – put one up tonight of the thistle.

Gosh this is sooooooo beautiful!!! I love the soft powder blue butterfly (even though it is called Pine White)in the gorgeous purple wildflowers. Amazing shot, so crisp and clear. 🙂

I find the blue tint interesting because I hadn’t noticed it until I saw what the camera did. Beautiful little furry creature though!

How I love butterflies! This is a wonderful photo. There is so much beauty in this world – the American Wildlands folks appreciate this I’m sure.

We had a good hike, Maureen. A wildlife biologist from the local Ranger District joined us also and we all enjoyed the hike as well as sharing thoughts and information.
You’re right, there is so much beauty in this world and sadly not all that many people get to see a lot of it. I hope the photos help, but they’re still not the same as the first-hand experience.

This is my new favorite. I wish I had a nickel for everytime I told you that.
Perhaps this appeals to me because they’re colors that I can see!
Great shot!

You don’t need my comments. They are getting like a broken record. Fantastic shot. Love the lavender color (my favorite) and the “Flying Flower” is beautiful too. The green with the background bokeh really makes things pop. So, what were the Wildlands folks doing there? Mapping things out?
Is that pile of Lodgepole getting any smaller yet?

The main purpose of the hike was to get an idea of the area as a wildlife corridor between the Cabinet Mountains and the Coeur d’Alenes, possible even to the Bitterroots. I’ve thought for some time that Munson Creek was a major route.
I sawed about a ton and a half of the pile this morning into 17 inch lengths and will work tomorrow morning at the top of it. I’m having a great time!
