This beautiful swallowtail and or her friends was a frequent visitor to my garden this summer. They especially seem to love the dianthus but this one is alight my raspberry canes. My kids are fascinated by our butterfly visitors and took this picture.
Every July we head up north to Tendoy in Lemhi County at the base of the Continental Divide. We spend a few days riding around the back roads and trails on 4-wheelers and motor bikes. This year I was completely taken with all of the flowers blooming along the Lewis and Clark Adventure Byway Road up onto the Continental Divide. I don't know all of their names but hope to someday.
A favorite spot is the Sacajawea Memorial Trial and Park. Here are my kids and a cousin posing at a little spring, the headwaters of the Missouri River.
I think this is a kind of penstemon, or beard's tongue.
This looked like a tall hardy geranium.
This one a shorter or maybe younger version of hardy or sticky geranium.
