Passing Light
The tip of an old rosebush stretches a blossom up to catch a fleeting ray of sun, piercing through the dark evening trees.
ladybug
An almost blooming thistle, and a ladybug. The red/green contrast is almost as good as yellow/blue.
flower, in sun
Not much to add to a sunflower lit by the evening golden hour.
yellow rose of the canal
A yellow rose grows wild along the Highline Canal. An early morning rain shower adds photogenic drops and strengthens the greens.
Frills
Summer annuals can provide a burst of color to a garden.
Neon Garden
Dahlias provide an eye catching array of colors.
Pastel Daisy
Saturated pastel colors are hard to capture with a camera, this is one of my better attempts.
Opportunity
This Emerald or Cuckoo Wasp was out hunting on the sunflowers that were attracting everything else.
Scent of Summer
Hydrangea flowers are very showy and long lasting, providing color through much of the summer and fall.
In Bloom
Springtime in Colorado brings a few weeks of green grass and flowers. Cacti bloom before the heat and dryness of summer.
