A Summer Trip out into the Wilderness: Part THREE

Our journey continues together
as I share my trip out into the U.P. woods with you today.



This little butterfly was very elusive and kept jumping from flower to flower, but I finally had a second where he was still on some daisies:









Cone heads!:






I love me some daisies!:














Another damselfly shot: (I just can't help myself!):






They are just so stinkin' cute!:














The Devil's paintbrush.
I must admit, he may be rotten, but he has good taste in colorful wildflowers!:






Look hard...there are some damselflies in this shot:
(Did you guess how many?)

Yes, THREE are in this shot.





Not only am I addicted to dandelion puffs, damselflies, daisies, turtles, ponds,
but show me an old gnarly tree or a fallen tree with great roots,
and I am a goner:


Some girls get excited over a new pair of high heels....

Old roots excite me.

What can I say?

Good thing I live where I live and not New York City....

  6. No high heels for me, either! These are great! That little butterfly is beautiful and I don't think I've seen one with those markings before. Love me some daisies and damselflies. And the Devil's paintbrush--striking! I'm going to have to come back to these in the winter. ;)
