Back to #NationalParks 2025. Mesa Verde in Colorado is on our list to revisit. You can take a guided tour down to the cliff dwellings but you have to schedule in advance. I also like the unique sign! #nps #publiclands #mesaverdenp

#birdoftheday #birdsinabstract I have a lot of "abstract" bird photos. The #eagle is from Northwest Trek in WA State, USA. Seeing it framed by a wire fence was kind of sad- even though it was a rehab situation. I love the #hummingbird dot in the stormy skies.

#Nationalparks trip 2025 next stop: #PetrifiedForest #PaintedDesert This park is otherworldly. So beautiful and few visitors when we were there. Pictures don't do any of these Parks justice. #nps #publiclands #nationalparksweek
#Nationalparksweek Grand Canyon South Rim was majestic, as expected. What wasn't expected were the pushy squirrels. 🐿 #grandcanyon #nps #saveourparks #publiclands
Next up on the #nationalparks trip from 2025 was #TheGrandCanyon. We started at the North Rim and then made our way to the Southern Rim. On our way out of the Park that afternoon, we were caught in a storm. The lightning from that storm started the fire that burned the North Rim. #nationalparksweek
#birdoftheday #thinperches Our local Mourning Dove pair on their favorite tree. They have been very vocal lately.
Continuing my series on National Parks! Excited to hear it is also #nationalparksweek Today I am sharing photos of #CanyonlandsNationalPark in #Utah. #nps #usatravel #saveourparks
Next up on my husband & my #NationalPark trip last year was Arches National Park. It was HOT but the layout of the park was perfect for short walks to the scenic areas. And the scenic areas were 🤩 #archesnp #nps #publiclands #Utah #usatravel
Can you see her? Technically she isn't an insect or a bug but she is a crawly in the garden so.... #insectthursday #bugs #spiders #cosmos #arachnid
Back to #nationalparks! Next on our trip was Capitol Reef National Park. It is a smaller, less visited park but worth a visit. The #petroglyphs were amazing. #saveourparks #nps #capitolreefnp #travelusa
The pumpkins are coming! The bees like these giant blossoms. #pumpkins #beebutt #summergarden #bloomscrolling
Bryce Canyon National Park was also a quick drive through last July. Beautiful views and tons of #hoodoos! We vowed to come back and hike the canyon at a cooler time of year. #brycecanyon #nationalpark #publiclands #savenationalparks #nps
We visited Zion National Park the day after 4th of July last year. The most scenic roads were only open to the tour busses so we decided to just drive through. We would like to revisit at some point! #Zionnationalpark #publiclands #nps #getoutside #Utah
In July 2025, my husband & I went on a 2 week NP trip. We started in San Diego, CA and ended at home in Western WA State. First stop was #JoshuaTreeNationalPark #publiclands #California
We have visited most of the National Parks in the Western U.S. I think I will start a series here with pics from each of them. Here is another one from Glacier NP. This herd of Long Horn Sheep was grazing near The Logan Pass Visitor Center. #nationalpark #glaciernationalpark #publiclands
We spent the last week in Montana at Glacier National Park. It was pretty smokey, but still beautiful. My wish is for everyone to visit as many National Parks as possible in their lifetime. #nps #glaciernationalpark #mountains
This part of my garden is the bee's favorite. I wish you could hear them through this picture. 🐝 #bee #garden #bloomscrolling
How many different hydrangeas do you see? I love this corner of my garden. 🥰 #hydrangea #gardensky #bloomscrolling #flowers
I grew a Serrano pepper but I don't like spicy food. 😬 Maybe I can learn to make jelly...🤔 #serranopepper #peppers #gardensky #pnwgardens
My friend is growing #pomegranates 😃 So interesting to see how the fruit forms! #fruit #gardening #bloomscrolling
