 I feel for a butterfly today, haven't shared one in a while.  I am looking forward to seeing them around again, hopefully fairly soon.  This is a Cabbage White that was visiting my Buddleia that I was able to capture this past September.

 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  This is one of my favorites, Wild Columbine.  They usually bloom in April and May so not too long now till I can see again.  The flowers are relatively small compared to the varieties found elsewhere, such as Colorado where Columbine is the state flower.  It is also known as Red Columbine.

 Today's bird image is of one that I hope to get to see again this spring.  I will have to be sure i carry my camera with me more often.  This is a Cedar Waxwing that I was actually able to capture later in the year on a rare sighting.  There were several sitting in the Walnut tree in the backyard.  I love their masks of dark color over their eyes.

 Happy Monday and happy new week!  Today's image is one of my favorite flowers.  I find them very photogenic, especially the centers of them.  They grow as a wildflower as well but it is generally the pink variety.

 It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog!  Today's image once again comes from the Colorado Railroad Museum near Golden Colorado.  This is locomotive 318 is a 2-8-0 Consolidation type.  It was Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1896.  It began it's career on the Florence and Cripple Creek RR.  The Rio Grande bought it in 1917 and used it on various lines until it's retirement in 1954.  A Cornelius Hauck purchased it and moved it to the CO RR Museum where it operated on the grounds until 1982.  It was then put on static display where it remains today.

 Today's image is one that I took on my bike ride through the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs this past summer.  It's a beautiful free park with lovely views such as this one.  Biking through it was a great way to see it as the traffic can get a bit backed up at times and also taking photos was much easier to accomplish.

 It's Friday, TGIF!  It's also another Friday the 13th, mwahahaha.  😉 It's usually a pretty good day for me so I am not really superstitious about it.  Anyway, my image for today is another that I took this past autumn of my Maple tree's leaves with some lovely bubbly bokeh behind.  Sharing for today because here on the Blog, Friday's Are Bokehlicious!
