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?

  1. Oh, how I wish I could be there . . . I have no idea what I am doing with my camera, and it frustrates me to know end. Your photography, as always, inspires ME to take better pictures . . . and I think that's about the most flattering comment I can make, my friend. Adore these purples and greens. They make me smile - big time. Hugs.
