Wildflowers

My son, 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.

    Really gorgeous! I love the delicacy of those. Splendid capture. Not quite birds, but almost as good. :o)

  • rocamiadesign replied

    Thanks, Bunny! They aren’t birds, but were almost as difficult to capture. The wind was blowing that day and the flowers were waving all over the place. I was really fortunate with this shot.

    Lovely flowers – reminds me of a balmy quiet morning.

  • rocamiadesign replied

    Thank-you! I wish I knew what kind they were. I don’t remember having noticed them around here before. We usually have the more common ones like Indian Paintbrush and Fireweed. These are low to the ground and easy to overlook.
