In Canelo Arizona, there were more animals and insects than people and cars.  The main activities here were insects scurrying around the golden rod, milkweed and thistle that were in bloom, (and a few cows who were keeping an eye on us).  This was a monarch tagging trip, but we saw so much more!  Thank you Gail!

Open roads. watching clouds, waiting for the sunset

Wishing for rain.

Waiting for the rain to stop,

Silence of the evening,

Chattering hummingbirds,

Mountain wildflowers blooming,

Big lakes, 

Lazy rivers flowing

and rainbows.

Portland Rose Garden

Multnomah Falls

There is so much to see near Portland Oregon.  The Rose Garden is exquisite!  I could have spent hours there taking in the aroma and abundance of beauty.  I can honestly say that I have never seen a flower, or flowering weed that I do not like, but roses are definitely a favorite.
 Multnomah Fall on the Columbia River, is another amazing sight.  We ate breakfast the The Lodge next to the falls, while enjoying a great view.
