My grandkids and I just got back from a nice walk.  I took my camera and took a lot of shots of wildflowers.  Some I know the names of and others I don't here is the essay photo parade of them.

Great photos!
Thanks for posting
to my
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
group too. I love them all!

Oh yeah... can you send in an announcement article for the other photos parade(s) you posted? Thanks!!!

Hi Jen,
the pictures are so informative. You ave posted the names of each plant/ flower you put up here. That is such a treat. But for your next trip to the forest, make sure you get sharper pictures. Maybe it's the direction of light you need to keep in mind.
Great photo-essay.

"Water Hemlock Deadly Poisonous also
known as Cow Parsley" This by far had to be my favorite in your photo essay......super job!:)

Very nice Jen. Amazing, you know all the names too. Thanks.
Laura H. Jul 10, 2007, 2:50pm EDT
I'm amazed :)
I can't even remember all the names of the plants in my flower garden!
Great photos. Thanks for sharing your walks with us.

beautiful

I love wildflowers!
judith t. Jul 10, 2007, 11:11pm EDT
Oh, Jen, I love wildflowers! I have planted many in my yard over the years. Thanks for letting us share your walk. You're quite knowledgeable about them, too!

I hope you know that foxglove (digitalis) is also deadly poisonous (although so very beautiful!) The heart medicine with the name digitalis was originally made from extracts of this plant, although it is now synthesized. It does affect your heart severely.
Alta B. Jul 11, 2007, 1:09am EDT
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Missy Cline Jul 11, 2007, 7:19am EDT
great job! Glad someone knew the names of the wildflowers cause I sure didn't!
Pat V. Jul 11, 2007, 8:00am EDT
That's quite a variety of wildflowers on one walk!
Larry H. Jul 11, 2007, 12:00pm EDT
I haven't seen wildflower in a long time, use to pick them all the time when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing

Nice essay, Jen.

I agree with Minnie, great essay you just need to focus on larger and crisper images.
I hope to see an photo essay from you soon.

Blessings
