Mohawk Park Wildlowers

Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 9 May 2007 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.

These are some very tiny wildflowers I found growing in a little park near my home. They are no bigger than my thumbnail and they are so very delicate. I never noticed how pretty and delicate they really are until I looked at them through my macro lens.

It was breezy and since they are so delicate it didn't take much to make them move, but with some perseverance I managed to snap a few decent shots of these tiny gems.

It will only be a matter of time before the county park crews come with their mowers and mow them down. They aren't too discerning when they do their word so many of the parks spring wildflowers fall victim to the blades of the county park systems machines.

Some of you who visit my other blog may have read about Russell and his illness. It's nothing serious just a virus that has been really hitting him hard for a week now. He had a concert Monday night and he was definitely not in top form but he was a trooper and made it through although barely. His fever returned today so we were back at the doctor. It's viral so there is nothing to do but let it run it's course.
