As is typical in Colorado, the end of May greets us with rainy weather and loud thunderstorms.  I took advantage of a break in the weather to wonder out and see what representatives of our smaller population I could find along the canal near my house.  Situated behind a retirement community, the canal parallels an amazing and little known garden, lovingly tended by the residents.  The riot of flowers and plants encourages an amazing population of invertebrates, and is one of my favorite places to photograph during the spring and summer.
