Raptors and flowers

Murph and I took the long way into and back from Tooele yesterday to do a simple errand. A nice thing about where we live is the opportunity to get to Tooele without ever getting on the busy highway - plus the chance to see wildlife.
Well we were somewhat disappointed since we had seen nothing till just about home - then this Ferruginous Hawk posed for us and shortly after the Prairie Falcon made an appearance (although less willing to pose). Once home, the sun highlighted a Valentines orchid in such a manner that a photo was absolutely essential!
