First Fireweed

Yesterday, I noticed the first fireweed showcasing its lower flowers. As summer progresses, the flowers will continue to open until they reach the top. Then autumn is only a short time away.

Swallowtail butterflies and small yellows and whites have been frequenting the flowers and puddles. Also, two black bears have been seen out by the pond--one cinnamon-colored bear and a small black bear.
