Asters on the Konza Prairie
I went out to the Konza this morning to take photos of wildflowers. I’ll be sharing a few over the next couple of days. This was one of my favorites.

Dappled Sunlight
This is Hydrangea Grandiflora Paniculata “White Diamond” in early morning sunlight. (The purple flowers in the background are fragrant phlox.) Once my “diamonds” come into full bloom, I feel like summer, though not over, is starting to wind down and that I had better remember to enjoy the rest of summer while it lasts.
Daily Prompt: Green
One of my favorite greens … that of moss.
A Word A Week Challenge: Unexpected
Thank you to A Word In Your Ear for issuing this week’s A Word A Week Challenge …Unexpected.
When visiting the Adirondacks recently, I was surprised to see how high the water was at the lake on which my relatives live – 3 feet above normal for this time of year. This photo is of a neighbor’s dock, or rather, where the neighbor’s dock should be; the dock itself is submerged under water.
Daily Prompt: Nature
Somehow I missed this prompt a few days ago. Pardon me for posting late! Have a nice day!
“Double Dream” Daylily
“Double Dream” is one of the daylilies blooming in my garden today. It is somehow both showy (because of it s form) and subtle (because of its peach shade). I just couldn’t help sharing.
Have a wonderful day!
A Bird’s Bath
With temperatures soaring in Kansas today, it is no wonder this little cardinal decided to treat himself to a cool bath this morning. Doesn’t that look refreshing?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Fleeting
I took this photo last summer when my mother and I were visiting Gull Pond. I am not sure what we saw scurrying across the surface of the water. We thought that perhaps a school of fish was causing a swarm of insects to flee, but we never saw any fish rise. Whatever it was, it was interesting to watch. It only lasted a few minutes and then was gone.
