I was in Litchfield, Connecticut, on Saturday morning, so I stopped by Topsmead to see what was in bloom. First I came across these wildflowers in the tall grass,
and then I came across some beautiful poppies in one of the formal gardens. They were a little tired but beautiful nonetheless.

ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! I always love it that you keep such a watchful eye on nature. I think that is really special Sandy. Life seems to go so fast for so many people, that I find it refreshing when someone soaks in the gifts nature so richly gives us. Thanks for sharing that with us. Beautiful. Your photography is really good as well.

ReplyDeletethe wildflower photo reminds me (go figure) of a wedding. The small white blossoms I guess are what does that. But the bright colors, the wildness of it appeal so much to me.
