At the rear of the services on the M6 Toll road. There is a path which climbs a knoll overlooking the service area and where people are encouraged to walk their dogs. As we passed through yesterday there was a digger on the mound putting in the foundation of a new monument to the air ambulance crews. Despite all the noise I took the path and was astonished to see these deer to the rear of the site where the new housing has been built. Although it was wonderful to see it is perhaps another indication of just how far we have encroached on wildlife habitat.

Went up Little Cottonwood Canyon ( one of the three larger canyons in Salt Lakes Cities Wasatch Range) just before dark for some long exposure stream photography. This was from the second place I stopped, the first place lower down the canyon had too much broiling white water to get to kind of shots I wanted. Even here there was more water than I really wanted, too much white water. Maybe by late July when more of the snow has melted and the stream settles I'll go back.

Looking Close... on Friday: Rust
The church of Collioure is undergoing renovations and is encased in an "ugly cage", as my teddy bear Spencer and his bear friends call it. But it is still beautiful!
Marvel of Peru or belle de nuit flowers open in the late afternoon and close early the following morning. As the flowers close the stamens and the style fold back into the centre of the flower
Slender Ringtail Damselfly (Austrolestes analis)
Every now and then on of these will let me get in close.
Still very tiny, the little ones don't want to be far from Mom. Three of the babies can be seen here, behind their mother's tail. The fourth was climbing the wall to join his family.
The warbler was so close that I almost couldn't focus. I was able to crop the image to make a close-up portrait without losing very much detail.
