It would be gorgeous to see fields of blooming butterfly weed though, rather than just the few plants in my butterfly garden! :)<BR/><BR/>Hope, Thank you for your nice comment and for coming by.

I find photographing wildflowers a little diffcult, as their stems are so often delicate and it is almost always breezy here. I was pleased with this one myself! I'm glad you came by. I am looking forward to the other wildflower events, also. :)Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582731584317660272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-3291816950468939962008-01-22T01:39:00.000-05:002008-01-22T01:39:00.000-05:00Your choice of wildflower is beautiful and the pho...Your choice of wildflower is beautiful and the photography is excellent!
