Not a lot of time today (must crank on big project), so not even looking up the spp. names yet, but here's a few to whet your appetite for subsequent posts. Adventuring further into spring.
Last shot is a small-moth-on-flower question I've not yet answered: Who is it? (...asked the parrot of the plumber.)
Indian paintbrush, Castilleja spp. (at this point I'm sticking to genera).
It is particularly electric this year. Just pulsating pigment. Breathtakingly brash.
Possibly my favorite pic (esp. w/o watermark....)
Small, mysterious mothiness (on woodland star, or some such)....
Update per skepticalmoth (see comments):
" ...looks like a Gelechiidae or Blastobasidae or something similar."
