'Nother lowly fly. It is one of thousands that are in constant motion swarming this Hydrangea 'Quick Fire' shrub. Along with the flies are ants and a variety of bee and beetle types.

This marmot has 5 babies. They marked the mother and one of the babies with black dye in addition to ear tags. We stopped a lady w/ a butterfly net for info., she said they track all the generations and breeding...

Thanks for the kind comments. I got lucky with the flag. I was driving past a car dealership and saw the interesting design created by the way the wind had wrapped their large flag around the pole. After dropping off my passenger, I drove back just to take a photo of it. Luckily the wind didn't change the design during the interim! It is fun seeing all of the photos members put up--usually stop by one last time before computer shut-down to see any late posts. Bubbles and interesting perspectives--such creative minds and talent! Nicole, that photo is unreal it is so beautiful; wish I had a 2'x3' of it to decorate my wall because I can't stop staring at it. Flowers, animals, and reminders of places I've visited, and locations I have never been. And I swear, lgmd_gaz has to have cornered the world market for unique picture puzzles. I'm always looking forward to what KT members have to show me every day. :)
