Aha! That's why!

Some of us who read Son's Arctic Blog this past week saw a mini version of this photo and wondered how come the field biologists' igloo tents aren't attacked by the polar bears. Take a closer look here and you'll see the reason...that looks like electric fencing! I'm interested to find out the source of reliable electricity in ANWR! LOL! Or are those actually bear flares?

Son took this photo in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge putting his iPhone up to a Swarovski spotting scope!

Wings and Nectar (We don't ask much, really, eh?)

Broken on a Flower

I have no idear how this beautiful Butterfly became broken on a flower, but that is apparent in this photo. Somehow it seems an appropriate photo for August 2nd, as we wait to hear whether Congress keep us flying or will break us apart on our own petals.

Hummingbird Moth on Bee Balm. LOL!

Come sit awhile...
