Pink and yellow 🌸🌼

#BloomScrolling #aquilegia #columbine

The top of an columbine flower the middle is a yellow firework of stamens and anthers with flat yellow coin-shaped pads on the ends. The inner round petals are a soft yellow with hollows in the centres. The outer petals are elongated and pink with pointed ends. The background is a blur of green foliageThe same flower from the side showing the long tubes that extend down into long tubes from the hollow tunnels in the yellow petals that fade into pink as they narrow but the tips are yellow again

Oh and somehow I forgot to share a couple of weeks ago that I saw a flock of at least 1000 snow geese!! Including some "blue geese" (different colour morph of snow goose) mixed in. So here have a bad photo I took through the car window, pulled over on a dirt road in the middle of farmland.

A collection of snow geese on a grass covered rise, most of them white with a spot of black on their butts, but one in the middle is darker mottled brown shades with a white head instead.

A rare sight in northeast Oregon: a turtle! A Western Painted Turtle, in fact (Chrysemys picta bellii)

#turtles #reptiles

A small freshwater turtle basks in the sun while resting on some reeds in the marsh. It is overall various shades of green, with yellow-green stripes covering its head.
