I take photos of things that are interesting to me; maybe unusual, maybe colorful, maybe catching my eye. Some of the flowers were rare sightings for me. Some of the were very abundant. Some of them were colorful in that particular setting. Some of the flowers had visitors I tried to capture. Some of them are wild. Some of them planted in that place. Some of them from the woods. Some of them from the prairies. Some of them in town. All of them made me smile and brightened that particular moment.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Wood Lily, wow, I have never seen one in the wild. Prairie Bluebells is probably a penstemon rather than a bluebell.
ReplyDeleteI thought the purple flower was penstemon
