Big gal behind her stand of penstemons.

And those ‘chocolate flowers’ (a kind of native aster/daisy) behind her are pretty amazing when they ‘wake up’ in the summer mornings. Smell fantastic, very small bees love ‘em.

Hoppy!

Down the pub. And the lights went out. And are still out.

I know I over-post them, but my favorite yard critters kept me company again today while doing chores out back this afternoon. I love 'em!

To keep me going Mrs. Sparkle slipped me a couple mobile cheese snacks.

And to top it all off, it's nacho night!

What an awesome day!

At the end of a storm yesterday a rainbow appeared in the woods. It stretched from my shop to the garden path and ran just beneath the treehouse. First time for everything, I have only seen them in wide open spaces before.

I just noticed the old faithful shot mid right looks like a stealth fighter caught in shot. More likely a bird photo bomb I guess...

Malmstrom AFB north of there. And it looks too symmetrical to be a bird to me. Cool

I once had a Hawkeye photo bomb me shooting pics, I forget where that was..

These pictures remind me of vacations with my dad and stepfamily as a kid. IIRC, I have seen every site depicted, and wouldn't trade anything for the trips.

I was completely awed by Mount Rushmore in particular. Yellowstone was great too...although we watched some idiot ignore all warnings and instructions, and get out of his car to feed a bear cub. The mom bear did not approve, and the fool barely, or bearly?, made it back to his car and slammed the door.

I was on Team Bear Mom, although I didn't say anything. Woulda served him right to get mauled.

Was someone not kidding and/or ready to fight-ah?

This weekend was a bad one for the owner of this duplex around the block from my house. Not a great photo, but looked as if there was significant roof damage, at least at the edge. I couldn't tell if it penetrated the roof over a room. Thank God that at the moment, both units are uncharacteristically vacant, best I can tell. This could have injured someone or damaged their vehicle.

I'll not complain anymore about the big windfallen tree section I posted previously here, which missed both my shed and my wonderful new fence in the backyard and landed harmlessly in an open grassy area.

How's your German?

It always feels a little special when you get the restaurant dock all to yourself.

Took a drive up on the bench of the Wasatch foothills above where our office is yesterday evening.

I have always admired the architecture of these Mormon Temples. It looked stunning with the sunset behind it.

I’ve never been in one, but heard they are immaculate inside. I believe the general public can tour new ones before they are sanctioned for service.

Hope, harvest and Happy 4th of July, Hank!

It's 1,35m deep, but the sign is on the bridge which is a couple meters high.
