Rainbow and a few others

Here is a rainbow I saw after the big rain Thursday nite....The two water shots are also during the calm following the big rain. Wendy took the picture of the funky moth, first on her leg and then on a plant at the front of our house ....and finally this red dandelion is know locally as the devils paintbrush

A week of firsts

This truly was a week of firsts. Thursday was the first time I saw a fawn suckling on its mother (sorry for the poor quality, but this photo was at the extreme end of my effective zoom). Later Thursday was the first time I was almost blown away by the wind, when a Kansas style storm blew through and finally on the weekend I got my first picture of the snowball clearwing hummingbird moth ( the butterflies are just a bonus). I have been seeing this moth in my lilacs every year since 1995
