In God's garden

Dappled dayflowers
One of the few true blue wildflowers in the world~ the Dayflower.
They bloom in the day~ by late afternoon, they close up.
Hence, the name, "Dayflower".~
Natch.

Wild impatien pod

It isn't Summer till I've squeezed a few wild impatiens' pods (aka, Jewelweed, "Touch-Me-Nots")!
Their wriggly-zinging when you pop them is highly addictive fun~ it sends those seeds flying!

Unity

Elmshoff Preserve~ the perfect spot to dream and think and read, etc.!

Elmshoff landscape

Dream on~ the Summer is still young, here in the Ohio Valley!

Thanks for stopping by my blog.
These are beautiful photos. Are they at a retreat of some sort?
Wishing you happy days.

Thank you, mermaid!

gemma, they aren't at a retreat, per se~ they're on public trails, but they're like taking a retreat, for me!

Hope you are enjoying your vacation!
By the way, I love to visit old cemeteries as well, the best ones I have found were in England. But I don't want to go after dark either!

The Day Flower reminds me of me! LOL By midafternoon, I'm done! ;)

These photos are fantastic! I love all your nature shots.

Keep enjoying the month of June! It's going to be a beautiful summer; I can FEEL it!

I love the open spaces and the wooded shade...and four o'clocks...they bloom from 4 pm till early morning the next day, then close till 4 pm again...never been able to find their watches, so dont know how they know the time

What peaceful pictures. Isn't it amazing what you see through a camera lens and the photographs that are created? Nature makes some of the most beautiful pictures.
