That’s just beautiful!

Because the roadsides and fields are mowed here, I see a decline in Queen Anne's Lace in my area, so I let it grow on my property wherever I happen upon it.

The photos of QAL are wonderful. Remember when we were kids and would gather it and put them in water with food coloring? The blooms were suppose to turn color, too. I don't exactly remember if it worked.

gyr_falcon...I LOVE the hummingbird shot. Whole different perspective.

Thank you, joanmn. Hummers are odd subjects, in that I take a lot of photos and then have to download them to see if any turned out. Unusual perspectives are common, but the sharp focus rarely ends up being where I need it. A faster lens would help, but I work with what I have.

Love the wildflower pics today, especially the Queen Ann's Lace. Yes, it does work to color them with food coloring in their water.

My wild flower is one that I remember as a kid, but hadn't seen it anywhere in years till last fall growing at the edge of a moist field in a local park.

Here’s a new little glitch. I definitely “liked” all these beautiful pictures but my likes keep disappearing!

gyr, that shot is A#1!

gry....that's a GREAT hummingbird shot!

Thanks! But it is funny--I really didn't think it was all that good a photograph, just atypical in form. And slightly humorous, because it looked like a hummer clapping. I guess it is rather like DawnInCal's fair entry, where she did not think the judge's favorite photo was the best of her entries.

I love the Queen Anne's Lace. I had never seen it until I visited Michigan.
