Our first Camping trip

We went on our first camp out from yesterday till this afternoon. It was so much fun! This morning we went on a hike just to see where the trail went. It lead us around mant interesting turns and bends, always ascending higher and higher. We didn't run into any ferocious beasts while we were up there, except this menacing butterfly. It even has wiskers by it's "nose" !

We saw a couple more like these below!

And here are some samples of the flora we passed along the way too. This plue and purple one is Penstemon.

This is a wild Delphinium, just like the cultured ones we had at the wedding.

And here's a close-up view of the flower to show all the fine details of it

Columbine; white ones and yellow ones...

Paintbrush

I don't know what this little white one is, but it was so dainty and cute I had to take a picture of it. The breeze was blowing enough that it wouldn't stay still!!! Grrr!

These guys were much more vivid in real life...

Here are a few pictures of our surroundings
