    ND was the last state I needed to complete having been to all 50 states. I did it 5 years ago and on the same trip did Glacier National Park and Lake Louise, Banff,  Monument Valley,  Arches National Park, Vail, Denver,  Boulder, Upper Peninsula of Michigan,  plus many more wonderful spots.

    GmaFoley- what beautiful little bird's.  I get a few hummingbirds and not too many others low enough to snap for the camera. Your roses are spectacular.

    Ruthbru- it must be so relaxing to walk thru all the green a pretty places.

    I have a family of hummers about 10 now that visit every spring.   Very hard to capture

    Ruthbru - yes , I love the lavender . I have not made it out to the lavender fields of the San Juan Islands of the Puget Sound of Washington State. It so my bucket list too.I have a few of them in my garden. My health has stopped me from doing much travel alas.

    Gmafoley- the finches are so precious. I will have to look for my HB images also.

    SoCalLisa- castle is beautiful.

    Thanks for the compliments, ladies!  I am by no means an experienced photographer like some others here, but I happen to get some good shots every once in a while!
