Black Eyed Susan

This May, I began prairie restoration out by my pond to provide habitat improvement for my native pollinators and honey bees. Black eyed Susan's are one of the first plants to bloom as they sprout and grow quickly as a colonizing species. I photographed this one as the sun was going down on a cloudy evening.
