July 31, 2020 - A Goldenrod Crab Spider in the garden.  These predators camouflage by changing to the color of their surroundings.  This may be the "prettiest" spider I have ever seen.

July 13, 2020 - The first photo is a tarantula we saw in southwestern Colorado a few years ago; the second is a spider in the drive this week.  They are eerily similar.  The Wyoming version was slightly larger!  What is this thing, do we have tarantulas in Wyoming?  Interestingly, the Wyoming version has only seven legs (showing?).
Just looked it up...Carolina Wolf Spider, I think; appropriate on Wolf Creek.

July 8, 2020 - Ruby-crowned Kinglets; interesting, secretive, tiny little birds just slightly larger than a Rufous Hummingbird.  The second photo is unique, but it is hard to see.  It is a copulating pair of Kinglets.
