Happy #Stunday! Another photo from our amazing tour of Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah with @navajotoursusa.com. Truly the most surreal place I've been.

Even though the night time temperatures have been dipping below the freezing mark, a few insects can still be seen once the sun has warmed things up a bit.

A stinkbug on sedum 'Kamkatscia'. A dark green insect with it's body edged in orange is resting on bright pink florets.

A dull brown Damselfly is resting on the edge of a dried up leaf. All four transparent wings are extended. The background is a mix of muted greens and browns.

A tiny bee center frame, peers over the edge of a bright red petal.

A lemon yellow butterfly (Clouded Sulphur) sits on some greenery center frame. It's wings are folded shut. The wings are edged in a thin pink line.

The garden is winding down, I have to accept that very soon all the perennials will be dormant under a blanket of snow until next Spring.

Echinops sphaerocephalus aka Great Globe Thistle. The round seed heads, against a blurred background of orange, are turning brown.

Iris frond. Raindrops are beaded on a strap shaped leaf. The leaf has horizontal bars of green, yellow and brown.

A deep orange rose hip (Rugosa Rose) in the center of the frame is surrounded by deep green, textured rose leaves.

A type of Sorbus aka Mountain Ash. Bright red, brick and yellow coloured leaves in front of a greyish blue sky. Deep orange coloured berries are interspersed among the leaves.

Autumn golds on the north bank of the North Nechako River.

Birches & Poplars on the edge of a riverfront property. Leaves are gold, yellow, and light orange. A grassy path sloping downwards, has a scattering of fallen yellow leaves.

The last few days of rain and successive storm fronts have provided some great clouds.

Towering column of grey and white clouds with silhouettes of conifers in the front lower left corner. Dark blue sky in the upper right.

Grey & white clouds, backlit by sunshine, are coming from behind tree covered foothills.

A brief break in the clouds lets the sun shine on the foothills. Dark green conifers are interspersed with gold, yellow and, ochre coloured poplars. The upper half of the frame is medium grey clouds coming from behind the foothills.

Another storm front moving in. The top of the frame is clear greyish blue sky. Below is a ridge of flat bottomed puffy clouds that hangs over a tree line of dark green conifers & gold coloured Cottonwoods. In the lower left corner a shallow pond.

Clematis seed heads after another heavy rain.

Clematis seed head; rain drops are suspended on the ends of the pinkish tendrils in the upper left against a very dark green. The bottom of the frame is light yellow. In the droplets themselves can be seen reverse images of a columnar cedar.

Clematis seed head, center frame, droplets suspended on the end of pinkish coloured tendrils. A few green leaves behind it against a background of muddy yellows, green and grey.

Top of the frame, a clematis seed head's tendrils with rain drops hanging from the tips. The drops reflect the tendrils.

Canada Geese are on their way South. A small group were resting on a gravel bar in the middle of the North Nechako River.

A lone Canada Goose standing on the backside of a sand bar. The bird is alert. Sun is shining on the bird from the right. The background river water is a muddy brown/green colour.

A gravel bar in the river. Behind it, gold coloured Poplar trees are interspersed with a few dark green conifers. The sky is mostly light grey & white clouds. Looking closely at the gravel bar, the specks center right are a small flock of Canada Geese.

Goose with an attitude. Canada Goose with it's neck outstretched, beak open, pink tongue protruding.

3 Geese in the foreground, others partially obscured behind them. They are standing on river rock.
