Wild Carrot is commonly known a Queen Anne's Lace. I think that the buds are more photogenic than the flowers (as in many other plants).

Interesting take on this ubiquitous wildflower, Roger. I like the bud colors and the dew drops that show up much better in the larger photo. I usually don't care for this type of contrasty light but it works well here. Well composed.

The dew mixed in with the buds makes for an interesting image. Maybe tone down the background highlights a touch more.

I've never seen this in the budding stage. Thanks for sharing.
