June Wild Flowers

This has been a beautiful spring and one of the things we always enjoy is the wild flowers that God graces our property with. Erica has taken a few pictures of the most abundant ones that I thought would be nice to show here. No matter what direction you may look here at Pure Water Hollow, you will probably be seeing wild roses, day lilies, or daisies.

We have daisies coming up all over the place. When we mow, we are careful to leave the best stands of daisies alone. Simon and Christina often pick these to use in a bouquet for their mother, who proudly displays them on the dining room table in a vase.






We also love to see the day lilies blooming. Aren’t they pretty?





Another wild flower that has been catching our attention is the wild roses. We have so many pretty blooms and they range in color from almost completely white to pure pink to purple and many shades in between. Here are some of them:






Erica made some rose collages with her new camera that I thought were really pretty:





And there you have some of the most common and abundant wild flowers of Pure Water Hollow during this late part of spring.

The prettiest flower of all was working the camera. Thanks for the pictures, Erica.



PS Since I don’t know when I might next do another entry of just nature photography, I thought I would include a picture of a "flying flower", a zebra swallowtail butterfly that Erica took:
