I liked the way the early light played with the wild flowers, and the rocks as backdrop.

So many people just walk past wilflowers and don't even see them. I'm so glad you stopped and took photographs for us Tom. :-D
Very pretty fotos, C'maar. The big stone background is a nice touch. Those orangish flowers we grow here and they are protected as they are disappearing.
Beautiful shots, Calomaar. I was wondering about the name of the flower in the first 3 photos. Is it called "Devils Paintbrush"?
Canadian Chelsea, Yes it is the Devils Paintbrush,I Copied this: P. aurantiaca is widely grown as an ornamental plant in gardens for its very decorative flowers. It has been introduced into Australasia and North America and escaped from gardens and is considered an invasive species in some areas. It is found across Canada and the north of the U.S., reaching more in the south on the coasts. The plant is easily removed (until it seeds back) by ploughing or salting, and it cannot be controlled by mowing because it regularly reproduces vegetativel
I love rocks too -- and wildflowers. Great pics.. those rocks are grand. The more I see of your area, the more I like it, Tom.
I love the pics of the Shasta daisies. They grow wild here and I have never thought of taking their pictures. They just seem so much of the landscape I kind of take them for granted. I am sure glad you did and shared.
