This is a Sagebrush Mariposa Lily, I sometimes call it a tulip. These grow wild here in our part of Central Oregon and can be seen with different creatures on it for lunch.
Karner Blue Butterfly Melissa blue butterfly. This is a endangered butterfly species found only in a few places now. The larva feed off the wild lupine, which is going away. They only lay their eggs on the wild lupine. This was captured at a wild breeding spot here in Oregon that we stumbled upon.
Nature is a wondrous thing. At times doing things that frankly, amazes us!
The selenelion effect made these photographs come out rather neat looking, only with some cropping done. This selenelion effect is when both the eclipsed moon and the sun can be seen at the same time. Of course I get what I am given and these photographs are what I got. A well known fact is, I dont do night time photography.
This is my white Holiday Cactus. Not a true cactus, it resembled a cactus and the species likes to bloom in winter time. Being dormant the rest of the year. The leaves itself is striking and gives a different look in the garden.
This and the other species of this wildflower were blooming high up in the Ochoco Mountains.
Use the little window and the photo will be a photo within a photo, it is really cool!
Mrsroadrunnerphotography.com is where I have been spending my time lately.
As those who follow my post know by looking around the new site, I have a lot more work. More photographs to upload. At least one more album with people to make and who knows what else??
OHSRA stands for Oregon High School Rodeo Association.
We headed over to the rodeo a little late. We seen a little of the goat roping when I was looking for a place that I could get photographs.
