First Of The Year

This is the first columbine I've run across so far this year and if you've been here before you know they're my favorite flower. This is a wild flower and people who have gardens their columbines have been up for a while.

The second picture is one of several and they all came out pretty nice. Enjoy the hell out of looking at colorful flower pictures and sometimes they are just downright striking.

It may not be much but it's something anyway. I do not tire of it. It's supposed to be fun damn it and it is.

A Short Fun Story

UPDATE 7/15  Marcy sent me pictures of her orchid and they appear to be slightly different. You can compare for yourself. What do you think.

This morning I open up the local fish wrapper and what do I see but a picture of an orchid just like mine below. That's interesting they must have been at Dinosaur where they are found.

Then I look and here it was submitted by Marcy who lives over the pass and ranches with her hubby Dave I suppose 60 miles away. The reason I know them is that they bought my pickup that I sold when I got my new ride. I totally enjoyed these two. Cool -off went an e-mail inquiring about this. Plus they have trout and they liked me enough that they're going to let me and my bud come over and fish. I've been looking forward to that.

Didn't hear back and after work the second stop I made was at the grocery store and who's there but these two. Nice! We're going to compare pictures to be sure. The ones they found are much closer to here than the ones I photographed at Dinosaur National Monument. I want to see the ones they found as well.

My point is this. I can't tell you how a big a kick I get outta shit like this and it happens every now and then.

In the big scheme of things it may not be much but it's something anyway. Stuff like this is what makes it go round.

What a treat to see you two today!
