Getting Up Close to Nature :o)


Alaska does have some interesting butterfly's and bugs.
Many of them I have yet to 
identify.  They are all beautiful and interesting to look at.


Beautiful butterfly's like these two examples.


And strange bugs that are totally unique.
I found this one walking around on my deck.


And this one on my front porch.


Amazing colors and varieties for such a cold place.


Each one has it's own great face!!


Grasshoppers abound in august in the grassy fields.




Tiny bees pollinate the wild flowers.  
I love to take close up photos of bugs.  These tiny creatures are 
overlooked in our everyday lives.  Their beauty amazes me
and its fun to take their photos
and share them 
with you!
