Mid-summer photos

Wildflowers are blooming in so many colors and species.  All are simply beautiful.  This is a Columbine coming up thru a low-growing Fir branch.













 A hike on the west side of Jenny Lake became exciting when a Black Bear cub was found in a tree.  Mama Black Bear was not far away, so the Rangers closed the trail.













I was happy to see the Trumpeter Swan family with 5 little cygnets at the Elk Refuge (Flat Creek area).

I found this Wilson's Snipe in Idaho along a meandering creek.

  1. Love these photos! The cub, the cygnet, the snipe, the columbine! I had to read up about snipes: fascinating that their bill is ultra-sensitive allowing them to distinguish between food and nonfood within the mud. Wonderful trip to Idaho!
