I have no idea of the name of this red flower that I saw in the Fine Arts Center court yard.
I am informed by several sources that this is bee balm.

Yesterday, a friend took me to the Chihuly exhibit at the Fine Arts Center here in Colorado Springs. I may go again, since some friends in Denver mentioned wanting to see it. Photo taking was allowed in the courtyard, but not inside. I was amazed to see the glass outside, since Colorado Springs is known for its summer hail storms.

From left to right: Smoke, Rags and Hap. I left the gate to the new field open last night, and the horses are taking advantage of my forgetfulness. Usually, they only get a few hours on the new field in the late afternoon, so they don’t eat it down to the ground.



I took this photo from the deck of the house where we hold our stamp club meetings.


Typical for Colorado summers was my thought today: “oh well, it was only pea-sized hail.” The violent storm lasted long enough to lay the dust before passing on. I went out looking for a rainbow, but found these clouds instead.
