Saturated in Purple Cone Flowers

One of the ways

that

I

fall in love

with the prairie

is with focus.

I love these

purple cone flower

babies

almost as much

as

I love sunflowers.

Just saturating

myself in their beauty

brings fascination

to

what is simply along the roadside.

And that makes me

have

affection

for the road --

for seasons --

for

home.

How do I love thee?

Let me count the ways . . . 

How many angles,

how many views,

how many perspectives,

how many stages,

how many ways

can I photograph a purple cone flower

so that each view is unique?

so that each view takes the breath?

so that each view increases the love for here and now?

getting more comfortable with your camera
