I love Wildflowers, they are hardy and bright and know their place. I mean, they know where they belong in order to thrive.
Here is a selection of pictures taken last week on our trips.
The Poppies were found growing around the old farms and meadows.
Some pretty flying flowers above. Woodland flowers and dunes flowers, and meadows too. I love them all.
These grew by the old farm buildings
So many pretty flowers
Another pretty flower?
This lovely lilly grew on the side of the Bluffs in very sandy soil
Even the grass is beautiful
The Rasberries will soon be on the vines........time is moving along. Today is the first day of summer and so it will be running down hill now
I have to show this, some of the trees have eyes........can you see them?
There are also many beautiful ferns in the woodlands
Cow Vetch, beautiful when en masse
I was taking pictures today and the Red Wing Blackbirds were not happy. One would hover over my head, trying I think to intimidate me. Didn't work. I took my pictures
From the sandy dunes bursts of bright colour
Beautiful shrubs too
I do need to get a newer version of wildflowers to take along and identify those I don't know. I did that as a child. My dad gave me a small pocket book of English wildflowers. I need a good one for Michigan.
This is just a small taste of the beauty that surrounds us and what makes our day trips so pleasant. More pictures next week we hope. It looks like it might be a nice few days and we have plans
sharing with A Dedicated House
also with Create with Joy
