Sweet Pea

I grew more flowers this year than last year and I have tons of photos that I haven't posted yet. This Sweet Peas is one of several that I grew from seeds. I took a lot of photos of this particular flower, but I didn't like most of them. The flower was actually facing down toward the ground....

Inside the Flower of a Prickly Pear Cactus

I wanted to share the inner beauty of one of my favorite flowers. This photo not only shows the Prickly Pear's Flower, but it also shows the adorable, plump little bud along side of the flower. I posted two other view of this lovely gem of a flower in my gallery including a full view of the plant...

Meadow Fritallary

This photo of the Meadow Fritallary is my favorite because it's little proboscis is up over his head all curled up and it just looks surreal to me. He's such a perfect little creature. Even though I thought I had a good handle on the research part of identifying all of my photography subjects...

Meadow Fritallary

I took these photos a couple of days ago and I liked the way a couple of them came out. Each one show this little guy in a slightly different position and you see his little proboscis (the thing he sips nectar with). I hope you like him. He is a Meadow Fritallary (Boloria bellona) in the Family of Brush...

Wild Pansy Goes Full Circle

A whole bunch of Wild Pansies magically appeared in my flower pots last fall and reappeared this spring. I just assumed they were dropped from the Heavens (or the wind or birds). Now I see that these beautiful little flowers transform into beautiful little seed pods. No wonder I have so many Pansies...
