There was tiny avalanches rolling down the side of this mountain and the rangers were doing avalanche control that day.... I managed to get some cool shots of that. Straight from the Canon 40D with some sharpness added.

Yarrow is also called old man's pepper, devil's nettle, sanguinary, milfoil, soldier's woundwort, and thousand seal. Whatever name one prefers, I find that the flowers are small but spectacular.
I am not good on spider ID but this might be a cucumber green spider (Araniella cucurbitina) with its bright green abdomen according to my googling. Happy to be told otherwise.

A common tailorbird (orthotomus sutorius) giving voice to its insistent and relatively loud call. Hearing the call, you would never imagine it coming from such a tiny bird. Photographed in Khao Lak, Thailand. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography" - www.colin-pacitti.com
Movement gave this tiny and pretty little crab spider away, with its colours and markings providing great camouflage.

Beauty is easy to find, just step outside! Wear socks over your shoes so that you can walk across the skating rink that used to be a patio. The grass has crystallized, and crunches loudly in the stillness. The old maple tree is wearing a tiny little world, with icy rivulets and green moss throughout the ridges and valleys. The inhabitants are sleeping now, buried beneath the frozen layers…dreaming of a time of warmth and renewal. The dangerous journey from home to the frosty winter wonderland will be worth it, though! Just don’t forget your socks….
So lucky to have seen the smallest of our Coppers again this year.
This northern species is an obligate dweller of acidic bogs and wet sedge meadows with wild cranberries.
The entire life cycle of the Bog Copper depends on wild cranberries (in this location Small Cranberry/Vaccinium oxycoccos). The tiny white blooms provide nectar for the adults, females lay their eggs on the undersides of the tiny leaves and the larvae feed on the shoots and leaves.
As with other small butterflies, there is only one brood per year and the lifespan of the adults is rather short. They spend most of their life in other forms with eggs surviving ice and periodic inundation submerged in freezing water and the larvae feeding on the cranberry leaves the following spring. The adults emerge in early July and may fly for two to three weeks.
Freshly emerged males have beautiful purplish sheen on top of their wings. This individual is perched on a blackberry bloom. (see my other shots in this series)
Bog Copper -male- (Tharsalea epixanthe) Sullivan County, Pennsylvania
I grow these coral bells for their foliage, which is beautiful in every season, but I am smitten with the tiny blooms on the stalks of flowers this time of year.

Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
Is he the little maker or the little keeper of the crystals? We may never know; we only know he is adorable! :)
