These flowers trail along the road between my parents' home in North Carolina and the beach. On the way to the beach one morning, they were dew drizzled buds; on the way back, they were hungrily feasting on the sun.
Wildflowers are the best! (I say that even thought I do garden with cultivated ones.) These are so lovely and I love that you have photographed them under two different circumstances.
I really dig the way you described the flowers -- drizzled in dew and feasting on the sun. Makes me think back to what the Good Book says about providing all and sundry what we need, even the wild flowers growing on the dirt road.
I love roadside flowers. Maybe its their determined existence in such an inhospitable place that makes them irresistible to me. Thanks for sharing these.

Great shots of a delicate flower and your text is very nice too.
ReplyDeleteBoth a different kind of beauty but I love the ones with dew on them best.
