Purple prairie flower at Wild River State Park.

A wild columbine, in the woods near the St. Croix River.

Some nice mid-day showers have given me the opportunity to capture close-ups of rain drops on my flowers.

I’m never able to use up all my chives before they start to flower each summer.

A fancy blue columbine, with very open blossoms.

Playing around with a new macro lens, taking close-ups of flowers in my back yard.

Our fuchsia peonies had tons of huge blossoms on them in early June!

Peonies coming up!
