| Thistle was one of the flowers that grew in this nearly alpine area and butterflies covered them. They seem to love the thistle and they hung like flowers themselves. |

| I think if you enlarge this you might be able to see the many butterflies more clearly. Diane |

Hi Diane - I did enlarge the photos and was able to see the butterflies - what a bonus, indeed!
Diane, I first want to tell you how much I love your header. Just beautiful, all the pictures in are awesome.
I was so happy to read that you and your husband were able to make it back up to the 'special place' and get more pictures. My husband and I and Landon took a drive to the mountains Thurs. and saw a sign for a pioneer cemetary. I was able to get some pictures of the three graves that were there and enclosed by an old pole fence. It was a fun day.
I think the picture of the man painting the fence is amazing. How great that you happened upon him. And it sounds like you made a friend.

Wow Diane! That's quite a few butterflies, what a treat. We have a lot of thistle around the house, and I know it's a weed but it's too pretty to pull! So they're my flowers in my opinion!
Oh, how delightful Diane! So many butterflies!!! I tried to ID it on the Wyoming section of butterfliesandmoths.org and think they might be Mormon Fritillaries?
When we lived on a farm that was a job my Dad would make us do is cut all the thistle down. I hated it because they were always covered with bees, good times!
I wish I'd had my camera last night the cat was right behind a log watching this chipmunk eat his dinner the cat weighs over 30lbs but he still thinks he's a hunter.
Wow Diane, I'm so proud of you two... Making it to the top to see the medicine wheel is GREAT.... How interesting... AND--that view is fabulous... You were really HIGH up there... Wow!!!!!!!
Love seeing the wildflowers and the thistle --and of course the butterflies....
Looks like you all had a wonderful weekend.
Hugs,
Betsy
