It has been so long... since i posted


in early summer
a lovely lady slipper orchid


a single lemon mandala of lichen on rock


this green orchid was a lovely surprise
found it as i was harvesting wild huckleberries
always fun to meet a new wildlfower


our summer has been cooler than usual
with many rainstorms
dramatic thunder and lightning
inspiring mushrooms to fruit
you know I love that!


a young moose appeared on a trail
so sweet, mamma was near by


I love these little rock dwellers
the spotted saxifrage
found in the mountains


another new flower to me: Capnoides sempervirens
the rock harlequin


waterfalls
summer is also about waterfalls

I hope you are enjoying summer wherever you are in the world!

  2. So many gorgeous shots of life around you, Tammie. The bright yellow lichen is amazing and the wild orchids works of art painted by the flower fairies themselves! My favourite flower is the pink and yellow Rock Harlequin. They make me think of elegant shoes fit for a ball!
    Our summer has been hotter and more humid than usual. Is there a 'usual' anymore? Now we are into the period of heat and storms which is rather typical of the second half of August.

    1. Thank you for enjoying!
      I wonder why they are better than IG, maybe they are larger? Or the story telling of a strand of photos?

  7. So glad you popped in. I was wondering and hoping all was well. Pictures are simply lovely. The last one takes my breath away as I imagine I am there and can smell the trees, hear the water and feel the mist.

  12. I haven't seen several of the flowers you posted, Tammie. I'm glad you've been out and about in Nature seeing wildlife and wildflowers! Getting cooler here in Breck, and the forest floor is showing signs of fall. Thinking of you.

  14. Good to hear from you again. Your photographs are truly beautiful and you live in such a wonderful part of the world. We are in the process of moving to a new house in the Scottish Borders and we have already seen deer, badgers, otters and various other rare creatures.

  16. The waterfalls are so peaceful. What a beautiful picture. I bet that was a sight for you to see the moose on the trail. Yes, he looks like a young one. These are wonderful pictures, Tammie Lee, they really are.
