Pelican Reaching for the Sky by Bruce Ellingson

Still a great time to view wildflowers and wildlife!

 

We're getting into late summer/early migration time.  The wildflowers now feature meany shades of yellow (sunflowers, goldenrod) but pinking Joe Pye Weed and other colors are there if you look. Lots of juvenile birds as well.
