Thanks for the great photos.
You're welcome, Ralph! Just got back from the Summer Lake area.
What a beautiful place!
Yes, it certainly is! Thanks.
This is a really beautiful post Siobhan - I love the way you characterized each of your images as voices - perfect. Especially loved your crane image.
Thank you, Tina! That field had a lot of white-faced ibises and a couple cranes. It was full of iris and camas.
So, so beautiful!
Thank you, Marilize!
So, so beautiful. Thank you for this great post!
Thank you, Sofia!
Lovely. I especially like the crane and bitterroot.
Thanks, Sherry! Yes, I liked those two as well.
A beautiful post - I love the notion of the desert voices :) And that Bitterroot blossom is stunning!
Thanks, Sarah! The bitterroot flowers are tiny but gorgeous.
I hadn't got a sense of the scale from your image. The flower looks so lovely on its own against the soil!
🙂
Great selections.
Thank you, John!
