With temperatures hovering in the 90s,
I haven't been walking as much this summer.

Thought I'd better get into walking shape for our upcoming
vacation, so I braved the heat yesterday to walk the trail
behind our house.

I was aghast to see the wildflowers SHOULDER high!


The walking path is owned by our Township and I KNEW
they mow it down in mid-July,
so I hurried home and posted a plea on Facebook
begging someone...anyone to pose for me that night!

Talk about perfect....my friend SUSAN
was eager to pose with the black-eyed-SUSANS.



We were stunned at how tall they grew this year.
I've never seen them so high!



Pretty Susan brought along her pretty friend Sarah.


Sarah wore my black-eyed-susan hair flower!








I cried this morning when I walked the trail and saw the big
mowers chopping them all down!!!!!

I cried because I was just in time to capture their beauty...
FOREVER!

  1. These are stunning - makes me want to get outside and do a little portrait work. I'm not sure my sweet pea is in the mood to be outside just yet though.

  16. Your photos are always beautful. It IS sad the wildflower season is coming to an end :( Our drought is making the wildflowers fabulous but their season is so short without rain following the dry spell.
