Sunday Stills, the next challenge: Wildflowers

open field in Michigan 6-28-09

O.K. heres the challenge and it is a challenge. Grab your camera and find an open field, fence row, empty lot, and get some wildflowers. The challenge is no flower gardens, botanical gardens,  hanging baskets, etc… I manage to find wildflowers in the most unusual places, you just have to look.  Oh yeah, weeds are considered wildflowers. The only folks who get a pass this week are those of you who live in the Southern Hemisphere because its winter,so, whatever ya find thats cool.

Good Luck….Ed

    Mine will be up bright and early in the AM. This was definitely one of my favorite subjects — wish I could have participated the last few weeks… the weeks have been getting away from me.

  14. I’ll be out of town tomorrow, but mine are set to post in the morning. Instead of pulling out of the archives, I decided to show what wildflowers look like baked by the sun.

    I will really enjoy seeing everyone’s wildflowers on Monday when I return!
