summer_jackelYesterday, it was warm and lovely on the ridge, which is in full spring mode. It was gorgeous, and just windy enough to make sheltie fluff look elegant and windswept...
More glamsheltie shots under the cut, as well as wildlife and wildflowers.
Coba has coat.
Here's his headshot.
Sometimes you take the picture at _just_ the right moment
Spring on the ridge
This may be an Old-World Swallowtail; http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species?l=1361 If anybody has opinions on the ID, please discuss.
Pacific giant salamander (a younger one)
A low-flying vulture
Tiny wolf spiders that scurry everywhere in the grass. Crossing the puddles in the trail slowed them down enough to get a photo
Female with egg sac
The find of the day...a wood scorpion! (Uroctonus mordax, which is a great binomial for a scorpion. It's totally harmless to humans, though). The photo does not do justice to the metallic blue sheen to her front parts. I don't find these guys very often, and it's always a treat.
