Goat Peak Butterfly Field Trip

The Native Plant Society organized a field trip to observe butterflies at Goat Peak yesterday. Wildflowers were numerous as well as the colorful bugs. Unfortunately smokey skies dimmed the mountain views.

Fourth of July in Twisp

The City of Twisp had a grand Fourth of July Parade and that was followed by an exuberant Arts Festival in the park sponsored by Methow Arts.

Anticipation!

Practice!

Moshi, gosh she is growing up SO fast!

The West African Dance group tossed flowers in instead of candy.

The dancers are my favorite!
