Summer, flowers, insects...

Summer and endless heat, flowers and insects... what else would you expect from June in Colorado? Have no idea. That's pretty much what I expect and, to tell you a secret, what I enjoyed.

Mostly, naturally, flowers. Purple and yellow, white and purple again. Red and blue, small and big... Not all of them I met that day in June, but you cannot expect to see all varieties every day, right?

 

These Charlotte's Web were sitting on the slope of a small hill and were kinda shy - you cannot take a picture after 11 AM as they closed the flowers, but also there were hiding in the shadow earlier. But from time to time I was lucky to be there at the right time for a nice portrait

Blooming Cholla is amazing. Tough prickly plant one day turns into a bright bush covered with tender purple flowers. Never was able to pass by without stopping and enjoying such a change.

Prickly White Poppy. You know how I love these paper thing petals. What makes it even more interesting - bees. There were always a bunch of bees hunting for the honey around. And quite often they worked as a team attacking the same flower again and again. I'd like to try the honey they collected on poppies. Should be delicious!

Sunflower? Brown Eyed Susans? Have no idea... I only know these bright yellow flowers were so cool, turning their heads following the sun, running on the sky.

And white beauty again. In fact there were a lot of them everywhere. Here and there you could see these white heads waving to the people walking around.

Red bug. Have no idea why, but as a kids we always called all the red bugs firefighters...

And... Cholla again... Blooooooooming....
