Alpine drive-about

I got really restless in town today so grabbed my camera and drove around town looking for flowers and butterflies. Forgot my binoculars so missed IDing a good raptor.  (Also too close to the sun and my camera was on auto-focus with traffic coming.) I did see quite a few flowers, but not a single butterfly. There were patches of white Blue Bonnets....


...patches of blue Blue Bonnets, and patches of mixed.


Back at the house I got a good shot at a  female Mexican Mallard Duck. I've never seen such a clean orange bill on one before.
