Wildflowers

Shaun and I went out, the other day, looking for birds to photograph. Every time we spotted one, it would fly away by the time we got the cameras turned on. We'd turn them off again, and a new one would appear. We finally found several in a neighbor's backyard. Just as we started taking pictures, she let her dog outside and he scared them away.

After a couple hours of walking, we thought we were going to come home empty handed. We came across these wildflowers next to the railroad tracks. I loved the way the setting sun backlit them, giving them a delicate appearance like fairy wings.

pointed out that these are called Prairie Smoke flowers.

I'm afraid that I am hopelessly behind in thanking everyone who has faved my work, and I'm never going to be able to catch up, unless the US government comes up with a law lengthening the day. Until then, I want to thank all of you who comment on or fave my work. I truly appreciate everything you do.
