New Springs Preserve Butterfly Habitat

I'm very excited about the new butterfly habitat that is scheduled to open in a few weeks at Springs Preserve in Las Vegas. Here's an early look at the build  as it was in early July and now. It's going to be awesome! :)

Mt Charleston Excursion

It seemed like a good time to escape the heat of Las Vegas and spend some time at Mt Charleston. Perfect weather and two major blisters as we completed a 3 mile hike. Low to mid 70s and a perfect day to enjoy the mountain.

 I'm still smiling, Must be before the blisters started.

 

 The trees were gorgeous with the hint of a cool breeze blowing through the leaves.

 Love the color and texture of this old tree. I found out that a lightning strike spiraled down the trunk of this tree causing the unusual texture.

 

 1.5 miles later. Gorgeous.

 

 Wonderful view and perfect day
