Rosy Finch
The Brown-Capped Rosy-Finch lives at high elevations in the Rocky Mountains only. This one is on McClellan Mountain, picking through alpine flowers.
Light Snack
Here we have a Least Chipmunk, the smallest species of chipmunks. On this late summer day there were a half dozen around, all running up and down various flowers and eating the seeds.
Fall Hunter
This Yellow Legged Mud Dauber (Sceliphron caementarium) was one of the many insects harvesting nectar from the fall flowers.
Evening Snack
This bumble bee was taking advantage of the warm evening to stay out collecting late.
Prairie Smoke
These Prairie Smoke (Geum triflorum) flowers and seed heads make for a colorful spring in parts of the northern United States and Canada.
Scattered Blue
These grape hyacinth flowers add a bright pop to the colors in an early spring garden.
Cactus Flowers
Spring Flowers near the San Juan River in Utah.
Scent of Summer
Hydrangea flowers are very showy and long lasting, providing color through much of the summer and fall.
Petite
These flowers are probably either Wooly Groundsel or Hoary Grounsel; the Packera family is hard to key out and a single species can look radically different depending on where it grew. These ones are living in a rocky hole in a jeep trail and are about 3 inches tall.
Plum Blossoms
This plum tree was completely covered in blossoms this spring, but this branch caught my eye because the cluster at the end of the branch was almost shaped like a pineapple.
