Hot summer afternoon at Victoria Glade Nature Conservancy Reserve. Prairie dock, with its tall stems and large leaves, dominates the landscape this time of year.
Instead of heading west to the Rockies, we decided to check out Horseshoe Canyon Conservancy area for a little hike. Descending into the canyon, we did a tiny bit of elevation, and the landforms were wonderful. Recommended for an interesting short walk.

Joe [The Resort Management Executive] finds his own perch and takes a rest.
Joe is an adventure machine. This has been a long night for him. Already at 11:00am he has been on the go for well over 24 hours. Hard work all the day before, a late, late evening with friends, up at the butt-crack of dawn to be dragged to the trail and he keeps on going!
By the end of the day, the powder puffs in the group were nodding against our car headrests, but Joe was going strong. Work, party, hike...and put us all to bed at night.
You da man, Joe.
Now, get some rest!

This impromptu hand-held close-up portrait of a beautiful caterpillar was taken on a morning hike to Tom McCall peak from Rowena Crest along the Historic Columbia River Highway in Oregon between Moiser and The Dalles. The beautiful trail to views of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams is a Nature Conservatory trail closed to pets. Hazards along the trail include poison oak and rattlesnakes.
The caterpillar is a western tent caterpillar. The western tent caterpillar does not kill trees and large populations usually collapse from disease or parasites after 2-3 years. Control of their population is not necessary.
The Nature Conservancy's Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, near the Kansas border north of Pawhuska on Osage Nation land, is the largest intact tract of tall grass prairie left in North America (40,000 acres).
Fall colors at Ramsey Canyon Preserve, part of the Nature Conservancy. Taken outside the town of Sierra Vista, located in southern Arizona.
This small fall, about a 5' drop, is just upstream of where an unnamed stream crosses a trail near the eastern bound of the Nature Conservancy's Green Swamp Preserve in Sunderland, MA.
The Ohio Street project will remove an estimated 1.3 million gallons of storm water from the combined sewer system annually, which represents more than 90 percent of the annual rainfall volume for the Ohio Street watershed area.
I have pictures of my hiking buddy Penn in front of these falls at Age 2, Age 5 and now Age 8.
