While smokey skies make for red sunrises, as shown in Keith Hammer's lead photo . . .

Dee Blank shows us the details of Fringed grass-of-Parnassus . . .
. . . and Western anemone going to seed!
Keith quit staring at the red sun long enough to get a photo of this Lorquin’s admiral butterfly.
Pam Willison's photo of a hot turkey puffing out its feathers and panting reminds us how wildlife suffer in hot weather. Neighbors report deer standing in sprinklers and laying down in water troughs!
