Doesn’t sound quite healthy, does it? I put all that in for Graham Finch’s benefit. Having no taste or smell, I’m not sure I can reliably tell the pine resin from the grapefruit peel.

A skipper! I think maybe I knew what skippers were many years ago but had forgotten. Thanks for the reminder.

Butterfly is some kind of skipper... Skippers are more heavy bodied than most other butterflies.

Fritillaries are really hard to tell apart! Even in-hand they are tough to ID.

More complicated than wine! I'm doubtful about the appeal of pine resin.

In Aspen, if you hike to the top, the ride down is free. It's one of Jacinto's favorite hikes. He was quite disappointed this winter to discover the gondola in Palm Springs charges for a downhill only ride.

Because in France it is more often than not a croissant and coffee. Nothing as delicious looking as this!

In our circles we call it the Rod Stewart plant!

It is a horrible stretch of highway and in the winter it is that much worse. One never knows if it will be open or not and then how long will be closed as Roger Pass always has avalanches, more often than not they are set off by the highway department to make sure it is safe to drive through. They will give you warning when they are going to 'bomb'.

As far as I know there has never been any thing similar for cyclists. Although, I have stood on the side of the road waiting for a car or other cyclists to ride beside as I pass a grizzly as it feeds in the ditch on the other side of the road.

This rule has been in place for at least 5 years in the Canadian National Parks where there have been numerous bear sightings on popular trails. Often two groups of two 'join' up at the trail head. It is a pain to say the least.

Nice, but I prefer what Betsy says the local name for them is: hippie-on-a-stick.
