A walk down our driveway

I needed to do two things this afternoon......get in some walking .....and the other --- A photo shot of the beauty along our driveway.  The variety of wildflowers is unending!!!!  I have only a few to share with you...... and I say that with tongue in cheek..... I took 55 pictures on my 1 mile walk.

 This is the reason for my photo shoot.....I couldn't have planted them myself to look more beautiful.

 I know that we HATE the Creeping Jenny --- but they are really kind of cute in their own way and their fragrance is wonderful.   They are pink / white.

 "Their only a milk weed plant"...but look at their flowers closely and they are amazing!

 AH! the wild prairie rose........dark pink....

 ......light pink......and white.  I don't remember seeing the white ones before.

 This is a plant that I usually see along the fence row. Touch on this picture to make it bigger and look at the amazing tiny little flowers.

 These are a rather strange looking plant -- but there should be lots of little pinkish/purple flowers soon.

 Good ole' clover.....

 Here's another shot of the end of our driveway.....

 Really can't get enough of the roses!!!!

 The sunflowers are just starting - and they are the "short" ones yet.....the taller ones will come later.

 Never saw these before --- but then you have to get real close to the ground to find them and I was on the lookout....

 Rose buds   :)

 And this ---- I should look in Clarence Nollett's Book on Prairie plants ---- I'm sure it's in there.

 This is a close up of the same plant.  It's the only one I saw out there.

 I know !---- these are a hated thistle --- but I love the pretty flowers anyway --- and then there was a white one and a purple one......

 Black Eyed Susans are everywhere.

 I think the cone flowers are one of my favorite --- just after the wild roses.

 Can't forget the grasses -- they have a beauty all their own.

 These looked liked "Straw flowers"...

 A couple of weeks ago --- the fields were FULL of these.....I could only find these 2 blossoms and then my photo went fuzzy on me.....poor focus on my part.

And I should know the name of this plant --- a type of clover I think.  I never knew that it went from yellow to white..... If I'm correct --- it's good for hay when it's yellow and then goes bad when the flowers turn white.
I hope you enjoyed the tour of our driveway.  I did venture off into the pasture two times - but they WERE along the driveway.    God's Creation is AWESOME!!!  Take the time to notice it!!
