#wildflowers
~We all live with regrets. When we come to the fork in the path, do we pause? When faced with the paralyzing option, do we gather our regrets close; breathe in their bruised petal scent? Hear them whisper ‘trust’. Then let them scatter, like so many discarded flowers. We have learned all they had to teach. Step forward with last season’s sweetness fading on your tongue.
Purple coneflowers are one of the iconic prairie flowers. The bloom at the height of summer nourishing butterflies, bees and birds. They also have many medicinal healing qualities.
Fade into Purple Coneflower is 11x14" on wood panel. She is part of my prairie series and now available as the original and prints.

Quick snap of a bee doing what bees do, at twilight with some Verbena bonariensis (tall verbena, or pretty verbena) [Nikon D600 and an ancient Nikkor 85- mm f1.4 AI-S (f2.8 @ 1/100-sec 100 ISO/ASA 400)]. 07 September 2018

Spotted these yellow flowers in a garden near Dana Hills Park in Clayton. Anyway, I was not familiar with the name of this particular flower and wasn’t able to locate a match with the usual methods. The cone shape / grouping is similar to Pride of Madeira… but that’s about all that is similar. Does anyone know what it is?

Turn the sound up for this one! This is the interior of the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit. In front of me, a beautiful broadleaf woodland carpeted with bluebells. Just behind me, Audis , Mercedes and Lamborghinis are taking part in the #blancpaingt race series. I grew up close to this track and on a sunny spring day it really cannot be beaten. #brandshatch #woodland #wildflowers #trees #bluebells #flowers #motorsport #gt
