South Park set an area aside for wildflowers.

Close to the beehives, a field of lovely wildflowers.

In honor of the first significant snowfall of the winter, a flashback to this summer.

These colourful spring wildflowers are so pretty. Daiseys, winged flax, and winecups in bokeh.

Tiny Wildflowers, White and purples.

This wildflower scene was captured at Armand Bayou Nature Center in Pasadena, Texas.

I wish I were a wildflower growing in the warm arms of the mountains, I would never tremble with cold or fear.

I wish I were a wildflower leaning on the solid shoulders of meadows, I would never wonder where I belong to.

I wish I were a wildflower watching cliffs and clouds in admiration, I would become the sunniest thing under the sun.

Mix of wildflowers and sticks with a prick.

I was surprised there were still some alpine wildflowers in bloom

Color is not hard to find at Yellowstone with its collection of geysers and hot springs. The warm months also bring a few wildflowers into the mix. A few showers in the distance, too.

Mallow and grass from my small wildflower meadow photographed on a light pad and lit with studio lights before being processed in Lightroom (Aged look) and the addition of a texture layer in Photoshop.

Beautiful sky, like to watch the flowers grow?

Underneath your mantle, bright and golden glow....

The winds that brush these petals fair...

Blow your clouds, but you don't care

For you keep watch over all of these

And cross over fields, where'ere you please....

Wildflowers at Twilight Vic Thomas Park

Wildflowers along Sierra Highway with Lake Isabella in the background.

While driving through "open range" ranches looking for wildflowers we saw lots of cattle and horses.

Wildflowers in a field in Norway, Maine. This is orange hawkweed (Pilosella aurantiaca) also called "Devil's paintbrush" or "fox and cubs." Native to alpine regions of central and southern Europe, it is an invasive weed in parts of North America - albeit a very attractive one.

Last wildflower shot in this series, from Carmel, California.

For some reason, flickr limits the size of horizontal images in the comment field to 500 pixels wide, but allows larger sizes for images in vertical form factors. So below is a copy of the image above, in a larger size!

Best seen on a MacBook Pro or other computer or tablet with retina display, and a browser capable of retina display.

After thinking it would be a boring weekend I received an invite from a neighbour to go and photograph the wildflowers in their garden. Perfect timing for this weekend's assignment in Weekend Assignment And Contest Group. Spent a happy couple of hours taking pictures and also saw a goshawk fly over - very exciting but of course had the macro lens on the camera so no chance of a photo.
