The wetlands pond lilies are beautiful this time of year.
This was private property to the right of the picture so although there was a vantage point for perhaps a better view it wasn't possible as the homeowner wasn't around to ask. it is too bad because it would have been great to perhaps peer into a flower with the camera. These flowers and pads are quite different than the ones taken in Snake Lake Park.

This lone berry was nestled back in the bushes. Although the leave pointing to the open-ended twig was as though it were, say, a caterpillar with it's mouth open to devour the leaf was appealing it was even more distracting from the berry which was the main event. So a bit of cropping was called for resulting in a simple, direct photograph.

More definition here and better depth of field would be helpful. Or one could go the other way and make it into some sort of modern art.

This thistle seemed a nice enough study in color but the black and white version may be more appealing.

There is such beauty in the wildflowers also known as weeds depending on whether or not you want them in your garden. This bit of loveliness was found in a wetland.

This little wild bunny decided to cross the small meadow but stopped to take a moment to study the camera before bounding back into the shelter of the underbrush.

What is it everyone finds
fascinating about old barns? they are a part of another life in this country that really has ceased to exist. There are a few holdouts and they draw all of us to our past whether we have an actual touch on that past or not. Additionally, the buildings, in their various stages of decay, have character and reach out to all who look at them.

These flowers almost look as if they are lying on a reflective surface but of course it is only "almost". The bright yellow against the deep green, almost black background makes a nice contrast.

Dandelions are a yard problem but just before they mature enough to let go of their seeds of lawn destruction they are stunning. This was the best possible angle for this particular plant although a little lower, had it been possible, would have been better.

There are two slightly different shots here. The first has slightly different lighting than the second. In editing, the sky was neglected so that was addressed in the cropping of the second for the third and final photo in this group. I felt the painterly quality of the flowers and the stone building behind it were the actual point of interest. Probably will go back and crop the first as well: it already has the sky absent from the picture although the right side would still be cropped at the post.

This barn is out on the road to Mt Rainier. the weathered outbuildings that are obviously kept up make a nice grouping with the trees and mountains in the background.

Not the photo intended for posting of this group however, the graceful curve of the road and fence is something you won't typically find in the Midwest - never mind the mountains!
