When I stopped for gas this morning this Ceanothus Silk Moth was on the pump.

White Lake this morning.

As I was driving this morning I kept meeting old cars on a rally called Spring Melt.  I finally found a place to stop and sat in my chair and watched some go by.  I even saw Shirley from my photo club drive by.

On our walk yesterday morning we saw this Genus Strigamia.  There's a lot of legs there.  I think I got 82 on each side.

On Friday night we went to the once a month art walk in Osoyoos.  We walked around the corner and found a juggler, a bubble maker and an artist busy performing.

The Balsamroot is getting close to the end in the lower elevations.

 

I SPENT SOME TIME WATCHING A PAIR OF SAY'S PHOBES FEEDING THEIR NEW BORN CHICKS.

The nest was hidden under an overhang way up on the cliff making it difficult to photograph because of the low light.

As I was setting up my tripod, this Red-tailed Hawk flew over.

One of the parents at the nest.

Putting on the brakes while approaching the nest.

There was a lot of rushing back and forth.
