Always, the invitation is open for you to come and visit the lovely Sandhills! There's plenty of thrills...and things to do. Right now the Sandhills are alive with color!
Rich, jewel tones! Emerald with amethyst dusted with pollen on this morning glory!
Misty rain highlights this tiny lavender flower on the forest floor.
Butterflies are fueling up for their migration on purple asters.
A fuzzy bumble bee allows this portrait to be taken. Smile!
Ordinary marigolds are a nice looking flower this time of year...up close you can see they're also dynamic as they unfurl their petals and are also homes to webbed insects.
Raindrops emphasize the tips of this Ponderosa Pine.
Sumac is already changing colors....stellar!
This beetle didn't care for the raindrops collecting on his back. Notice his middle leg is wiping them off. Something it did repeatedly. Adorable.
Ruby mixed with garnet and a bit of citrine grace this tree....birds flock here for winter kibble.
Webbed beauty! Mist beads up on this intricate lacework!
Grasshoppers are interesting...especially up close. Kind of looks like a robot face..."better to eat all your flowers!"
A recent, record setting rain fell, cleaning off all the leaves, trees, and hills, for a nice crisp walk on the many trails in the area.
Geese are starting to collect for their migration as well.
Happy autumn...the sun sets sooner...and colors are intensified making everything look cozy and warm. It's a purrrrrrfect time of year for a Sandhills vacation or quick visit!
