I like to shoot the native flowers as I find them, in the midst of the messiness & diversity of their Prairie home, so this shot shows this wild & happy Gaillardia with some of its closest neighbours. 07/20/19
Some flowers seem to beg to have their photo taken. Thanks so much for all your comments & encouragement, I appreciate your support so very much. :-) 07/19/19
Sometimes it’s fun to lie on the ground and just shoot through the flowers, letting the camera pick it’s own focal point and see what you get. (Not a lot of processing on this shot... the effect comes from shooting through with a wide open aperture on a long lens.) Actually - that’s the easy part. Standing up after half an hour on the ground is the tricky part… :-) 06/18/19
