A Couple from the Prairie
Wile E. Coyote foiled my plan to photograph some turkeys this morning, so I went to work on some wildflowers. I'm not sure what the first one is, but I liked the backlight.

There's a wonderful range of greens in the first image Bill. The blue flowers contrast nicely. I really like the splashes of orange in the paintbrush shot. Good job on both.

The plant in the upper image might be Blue False Indigo-at least after consulting my old AR wildflower book that's what it most resembles to me.

Both images have a light and airy feel to them. I like that.

Can't really tell the difference between the meadow on the prairie and an high mountaing meadow... I guess there may be different species of flora but the colors still abound.

Nice work, as ususal, Bill.

Great work on both, Bill

Both of these look great, Bill. I really like the details in the leaves on the first shot.

Both are beautiful Bill. You always do a great job on your prairie images.
