In our lead photo, Christin Rzasa gives us an example of the expanse of this season's wildflowers while . . .

Skip Via shows us a Golden orb spider on an Alpine saxifrage and . . .

 

. . . Pat Jaquith shows us a Goldenrod crab spider on a Mountain lady's-slipper!

 

Debra Schweitzer reminds us, however, that looking at wildflowers is not all that intimidating, showing us a Beargrass blossom with no spiders or bears in site!

 

Pat Jaquith was not intimidated by this pair of Chipmunks . . .

 

. . . and Keith Hammer braved this photo of a pair of Gophers with his 50x lens!

 

Lynn Smith reminds us there is no reason to fear a Kingfisher, unless you are a fish!

 

Pam Willison shows us a very exciting place to be a fish!

 

Pat Jaquith shows us a Common yellowthroat and . . .

Keith also shows us just how low he will stoop to get a photo of Kinnikinnick blossoms!

 

In our parting shot, Dee Blank shows us a Spruce gall, caused by Wooly aphids (obviously related to Wooly mammoths)! See https://extension.colostate.edu/topic-areas/insects/cooley-spruce-galls-5-534/ and be brave, go out forest bathing today!
