I am taking an extended break (except for occasions like this) from posting in the Digital Photography forum. My apologies to you and any others who have missed my cat photos. 😿

Summer in Colorado - at least along the Front Range prairies - produces lots of yellows and purples. Something purple and unknown (to me) out at Rocky Mountain Arsenal. The plant is right around my height (6'), occasionally taller.
Hummingbird moth, which evidentlly is even harder to photograph than the hummibird bird.
A wild rose hip taken in waning evening light. Fuji XP-90 camera @ ISO 400.
Winter festival, Harrison Hot Springs, couple of years ago. Day time photo of one of the nightly-lighted displays in front of Harrison Lake. Camera on iPad Mini 4.

Very nice! The ones around my yard look like that one, and just a few fireweed flowers are showing their colors at the highest points of the plants. There is a "saying" that when the fireweed flowers are on the uppermost branch of the plant, summer summer has ended. Now it is the rainy season in the interior of Alaska (heavy rain at the moment), so I have been taking lots of photos of the rain drops on the Irises and other plants.
These are wild onion (chives) flowers, photo taken a couple of months ago (oil paint effect):

Having rewatched the Hobbit recently, I think a scene like this might have been his inspiration for that forest scene with the spiders.
Yes, and it acts pretty much like a hummingbird. Wings beat incredibly fast, and they hover while feeding. This one was going from plant to plant even faster than the hummingbirds I see. I took maybe 10 shots and got just the one keeper. Hopefully I'll see him again!
And now, a poem...
It's called "The Sultaness" (after a city in northern México nicknamed "the northern sultaness").
Its a sirloin hamburger with guacamole, Mennonite cheese and "chicharrón de la Ramos" (fried pork skins from a locally-famous butcher shop)

This is a followup to yesterday's bakery photo. The township of Yalaha, population 1345, has 2 businesses. Blink and you miss them as, while different owners, they are next to each other. Blue Bayou Farms has the obvious goods and a pick your own blueberry field to the rear. However, since this picture was taken, they have expanded with a complete new line of goods and I may have to plan an outing soon. I saw on a local PBS program, Central Florida Roadtrips, as they focused on Lake County they included the farm (but not the bakery) it now has an active still within the store with the first and only State moonshine license. Don't know if they give free samples..but...
