"Then there are shadblow & delicate anemones, about the time of the cherry blossoms; the brief glory of the apple orchards follows; & then the thronging dogwoods fill the forests with their radiance; & so flowers follow flowers until the springtime splendor closes with the laurel & the evanescent, honey-sweet locust bloom."
-Theodore Roosevelt, 26th American President (1858-1919).
Shadblow Serviceberry (Amelanchier canadensis) Also called Shadbush. Another common name is Juneberry because it has edible berries that ripen in June. We have not had a chance to taste them because the birds get to them before they are fully ripe.
Below-zero air arrived suddenly, and these delicate little crystals began to form on the old storm windows upstairs. Usually they are much more dense, but maybe I caught the show early, before that happened.
The very last autumn shot of the season of delicate oak leaves when I was practicing using the Lensbaby Velvet in my local park of Charles Jensen Botanical Garden.
More of my favorite genre of campsite photography, where I just wander around the campsite to capture whatever captures my eye, which here included the tiny delicate white flowers and curly tendrils of a plant at our site in the redwoods.

I just want to let you all know that it's going to get up 109 degrees here today... 111 degrees tomorrow. :(
I had to avoid the tons of other summer tourists who hiked to Delicate Arch for sunset. The light got better as sunset approached and more people starting leaving. The best shots were within 2 minutes of when the sun set behind the mountains.
Delicate Arch is one of Utah's most famous icons. You see images of it everywhere: on magazine covers, computer screen savers and license plates. But photos do not adequately convey the stunning beauty that hits you as you come over the ridge and see the arch in person for the first time-when you stand under it, the arch towering above your head, slickrock canyons falling away below you, the snow-covered La Sal Mountains in the distance. It is a spectacular sight.
Delicate Arch is also one of Utah's best family hiking destinations. The majesty of the arch can't be seen from the roadway. There is a viewpoint, just 50 yards off pavement, where you can see the arch at a distance of about one mile. But to really comprehend its beauty you need to take the trek that brings you up under it.
Edward Abbey, noted naturalist and author, wrote this: "There are several ways of looking at Delicate Arch. Depending on your preconceptions you may see the eroded remnants of a sandstone fin, a giant engagement ring cemented in rock, a bow-legged pair of petrified cowboy chaps, a triumphal arch for a procession of angels, an illogical freak, a happening.... If Delicate Arch has any significance it lies, I will venture, in the power of the odd and unexpected to startle the senses and surprise the mind out of their ruts of habit, to compel us into a reawakened awareness of the wonderful-that which is full of wonder."
Hibiscus comes in different color and combination that is both vibrant and strong. Very few that is delicate in term of color and this one captured my attention with its soft beauty.
大紅花有各種各樣的顏色，平常看到得是鮮豔強烈色居多。顏色柔和的視乎較稀少，這一朵有著溫柔的顏色抓住我的心了。
Finally finding some moments here and there to actually pick up my camera and use it as something other than a paperweight.
Nothing too exciting here -- just some clean glassy drops on a whiskery ivy leaf.

Putting Delicate Arch in context, it is on the very right of this view, almost missable in all the other sandstone.
“The cloak of sweet solitude kept at her side
Wrapped and enveloped us as new sails unfurled.
With passage for two on the crests of smooth tide
I never looked back from this undaunted world.
Her commune with nature leads past gardens paths.
With smiling eyes she shares a deep love of life.
With questing mind she drinks the cosmos in drafts.
Her laughter abounds and it soothes any strife.
Sonnets can’t describe what this mind means to say.
Though some waters be white, with our ship I will stay.”
