A very beautiful flower, especially when it grows in large groups, from a distance a field of blooming lupine looks like a solid field of blue!

It's done, Christy! Thanks for the suggestion

Johnny Jump-up, a variety of violet

You are correct, it is a damselfly

Looks like potentilla

Thanks Angel, I've been seeing these little beauties for years, but never knew what they were.

Thanks, Angel! There were a lot of these in the area where we were camping. I was amazed at the details I could see in the photo that I couldn't see in "real life". A friend pointed out the "steeple" at the end of the tail

Very interesting creature! Great photos

Beautiful!

Thanks, John! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dung_beetle...
