Painted Lady







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!

White Mountains, Arizona


Long and winding road


Apache County, front row seats




Hummingbird buffet



Reflection of Greer

Big Lake





Little Colorado River


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.
